  • Manage and support operational staff, including recruitment, training and performance management.
  • Oversee health and safety, risk management and business continuity in collaboration with relevant colleagues.
  • Identify and implement service improvements, operational efficiencies and change initiatives.
  • Monitor performance, provide operational reports and support strategic planning.
  • Build effective relationships with clinical teams, consultants, staff and external stakeholders.

  • Proven experience in an operational management role, ideally within healthcare, a hospital or social care setting.
  • Strong customer service and people management skills.
  • Experience of admissions, capacity or occupancy management.
  • Knowledge of CQC requirements, health and safety and operational compliance.
  • Experience supporting HR processes and managing operational change.
  • Excellent communication, organisation and problem-solving skills.
  • A commercially minded, solutions-focused approach with the ability to manage competing priorities.
