What we need?
The Operations Manager will be responsible for managing the overall operational delivery of a large Contract Package Area for the Work and Health Programme. We require strong management experience, preferably within a similar role and proven performance management, operational planning and organisational skills.
Ultimately you are responsible for the employability and support services delivered internally and through our supply chain. Ensuring services are consistently delivered to the highest standards meeting all performance and contractual requirements. You will directly line-manage a team of Area Managers and a Supply Chain Manager. You will need to empower and encourage your staff to be flexible team players who in turn enable delivery staff and supply chain partners to support participants to take control of their lives and move into employment.
You also need to be adept at developing and maintaining relationships with local integrated services. Building local stakeholder relationships to enhance and expand the services to participants.
