Are you passionate about managing and developing services?

 

We are looking for an Operational Manager to manage our Advice and Guidance Services. Reporting to the Head of Operations and playing a key role within the ACT management team, the Operational Manager will liaise closely with a range of partners and be responsible for leading and developing a range of ACT’s Advice and Guidance Services. You will manage a team of Officers and Volunteers led by Operational Co-ordinators and will also be responsible for managing multiple budgets. You will need to be an inspirational leader and be able to motivate and support both paid and voluntary staff. 

 

Our Operational Managers oversee a range of services and the aim is for this role to manage some key services within our Advice and Guidance Team. As well as managing these services, the role will also involve service development and both raising and maintaining the funds required to deliver the services.

 

You will be expected to demonstrate leadership skills and innovative qualities. The team you manage will be knowledgeable and competent in their respective roles; hence the demands of the Operational Manager will not necessarily be linked with specialist knowledge, rather effective management. You will be responsible for advancing best practice within the team and sharing this across the management team.

 

As a manager, your key task is to ensure the best use of resources within the team as well as developing these resources where required.
