Operations Manager - Learning Disabilities
North West + Cumbria
£50,000 per annum + £5000 car allowance + £10,000 Bonus
REQUIREMENTS
- Experience as a Regional Manager in learning disability services.
- A proven track record of achieving at least 'good’ ratings in CQC inspections.
Compass Associates are proud to be partnering with a reputable care provider in the north west which specialises in supported living care for young adults with learning disabilities and autism. They are well-established within the sector and are looking to recruit an experienced Operations Manager to nurture the development of Registered Managers and support them to develop their services, improving outcomes for clients.
THE ROLE
As Operations Manager, you will be responsible for the smooth running of a patch of supported living services. The Registered Managers of these services will all report directly to you, while you will report to the Operations Director. This role will involve visiting and supervising services, monitoring progress, forging positive relationships with local authorities, and ensuring that services are on target to achieve any goals previously set out in their action plans. You will only be expected to travel to one area per day and will be able to work from home on Friday.
THE CANDIDATE
A background within supported living services for young adults with learning disabilities is preferred. Applicants must also be commercially astute and understand what it takes to operate a portfolio of profitable care services, e.g. developing ties with local authorities, and managing occupancy and agency use.
The ideal candidate should also have proven experience of delivering consistently high quality of service within the sector, and therefore you should have a track record of 'good’ or 'outstanding’ CQC ratings. The position requires somebody who has extensive knowledge of the sector and is able to confidently work with a team of Registered Managers to ensure great quality care to all service users. The business is looking for someone who is motivated to play a vital role in helping the company to achieve its goals.
INTERVIEW PROCESS
There will be a three-stage interview process:
- An informal conversation with the Operations Director
- An formal interview with presentation for the Operations Director, with questions from service users.
