Job summary
We are looking for a Senior Operations Manager with the energy, passion and relevant experience to lead a large multi-disciplinary team to deliver safe, effective and innovative treatment services across Wakefield.
This role will combine leadership at a senior level with building and sustaining relationships with a range of key stakeholders, to drive continuous improvements in service delivery.
At Turning Point, we are recognised leaders in helping people recover from addiction and gain control of their lives. By providing the right support at the right time and making sure that people can find all the help they need, we have grown into one of the largest providers of substance use services in England and Wales. We are now looking for an experienced operations manager to oversee our existing community-based substance use service in Wakefield.
Wakefield Inspiring Recovery is a fully integrated community substance use service for Adults and Young People. The service is delivered in partnership with subcontractors, and a wide range of external partnerships. There is an emphasis on working into neighbourhoods and building partnerships, across public and voluntary sectors, to prevent escalating problem substance use, reducing harms to those who use and promoting active recovery in all that we do.
Main duties of the job
You will be the leader of this well-established service working collaboratively alongside commissioners, colleagues and stakeholders to ensure the service continues to deliver on performance, pathways, community integration, stakeholder relationships and innovative evidence-based practice to ensure we deliver high quality interventions to the people who use our services. You will be expected to lead excellent service delivery and governance supported by a strong management and clinical team, but also play a key leadership role externally, as the experts in substance use locally. This role is a great opportunity to combine leadership at a senior level with building relationships and also balancing the needs of our stakeholders.
We are looking for a highly skilled person with the skills and talent to lead the service, and inspire, co-produce and co-deliver the very best treatment and recovery services with teams, our stakeholders, and most importantly the people of Wakefield.
About us
As a leading health and social care provider with more than 300 locations across England, we take real pride in the services we offer.
Across the varied regions, sectors and settings we operate within, our organisation is held together by a shared vision and our people are connected by the same values. These include belief in potential, confidence in communication, embracing positive change and always treating each other as individuals.
We run all of our services on a not-for-profit basis; instead, we invest every penny back into our services and people. We never stop believing in change for the better, and we work constantly to improve the lives of the people we support.
Our people bring our vision to life. So, if you are enthusiastic, motivated and committed to support others to fulfilling their potential, here at Turning Point, we don't just offer you a job we offer you a career.
We reserve the right to close this advert early if we are
able to appoint to the vacancy before the advertised closed date.
