Our People


Thrive, Connect and Fit for Purpose

Our staff structure is based on a common framework through which we report to our members and funders and the Scottish Government.  We categorise all our activities into 3 broad agendas –  Thrive, Connect and Fit for Purpose (Chief Executive team & Board).

Chief Executive

The Chief Executive team is responsible for ensuring that GCVS is 'Fit for Purpose’. This agenda reflects the internal activity we undertake to ensure that as an employer and lead Third Sector organisation we have strong, effective governance, leadership and management and robust financial and organisational systems and processes.
