Chief Executive Officer, Scottish Seabird Centre

We’re seeking a new leader for the Scottish Seabird Centre

After 6 years leading the Scottish Seabird Centre the Chief Executive Officer – Susan Davies FRSB - is moving on. This presents an opportunity for someone with a passion for inspiring people to act for Scotland’s marine environment to shape the future of our Charity and visitor attraction as we move into the next 25 years of our journey.

Chair, Stuart Housden said, “We are very grateful for the leadership that Susan has provided to the Scottish Seabird Centre on its path to playing a more prominent role in marine nature conservation in Scotland and to promoting our visitor attraction and activities to educate and inspire more people to act for Scotland’s seas and amazing wildlife found there. Despite this having been a challenging period, not least with the pandemic and rising business costs, we have established much stronger links with our local and science communities and continue to increase our reach and impact through new partnerships.

With a new 5-year strategy and business plan to develop in the coming year this is a great opportunity for someone to build on the progress made as we enter the next 25 years in our Charity’s journey”.

Susan Davies said “The Scottish Seabird Centre will always hold a place in my heart; especially our dedicated team and the conservation, education and community partnerships we have developed. The time is now right, with the recent support we have secured to grow our membership base, in developing partnerships and being more sustainable and inclusive in our approach, to pass on the reins to a new leader as we approach our 25th year”.
