The Operations Manager will be a key role, reporting into the Chief Operating Officer, with responsibility for managing and coordinating office management, training & resource, policies & compliance, systems management and Board support.

Main duties include:

• Ensuring that Luminus staff and office space has the resource needed to operate effectively.

The work will be interesting and varied, and you will work across all our services to provide operational support (please see the Job description for more details).

You will need to have previous experience of working in an operations role; demonstrate strong organisation skills and attention to detail; be a good problem solver who can look for solutions/ideas for improving current process and procedure. You will be excellent at talking to people and building relationships both internally and externally with suppliers.

We are a friendly, supportive team who are all passionate about hearing from local people, and that has a real say in developing health, social care and other public services, liaising with senior professionals and clinicians to help deliver change for local people.
