THE ROLE
In our Director of Operations, we are looking for a future focused, operational leader who shares our values and who will inspire all of those who work with us and everyone who uses our services. We are looking at how we can strengthen our sense of identity as a group and deepen our service impact. You will be a quality driven, outcomes focused leader who can both design and execute meaningful approaches to delivering high quality services in an innovative, commercially viable and sustainable way but who also understands that even the best plans only succeed if people understand and contribute to them.
You will be a proven operational leader of both services and people, in a complex organisation. You will have personal experience of embedding quality improvement and you will have a good understanding of the commercial and operational reality of leading a sustainable business in the social care sector. Reporting into the Chief Executive and the UK Regional Board of Trustees, you will join a committed team of professionals.
The ability to work collaboratively both internally and externally are crucial, and you will drive change, improvement, and the sharing of best practice, whilst building trust and developing effective relationships with all our staff and stakeholders. If you believe you have the vision, values, and skills we need, and are excited by the opportunity to work with us, we look forward to hearing from you.
