Grays, United Kingdom Thurrock Lifestyle Solutions Full time

Thurrock Lifestyle Solutions is a unique and innovative social enterprise founded on the belief of ‘experts by experience’. For that reason, our governance states that 100% of our Company Directors identify as Disabled. 

Since our inception in an old Scout Hut in Chadwell-St-Mary by a group of forward-thinking individuals who believed that Disabled people should have power over their own life choices, we have grown to become an organisation offering a complex range of services and support around 200 Disabled people in the local community, with an annual turnover of approximately £5.5million. And those core beliefs that we were founded on very much exist today.

We are now looking for a COO to work collaboratively with our Board of Directors, CEO and wider Senior Leadership Team to provide crucial strategic direction to the organisation and stewardship of our services, driving operational excellence and innovation at all levels. This will include constant monitoring and evaluation of existing operations, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and for effectiveness, while exploring opportunities for further growth and innovation that will enhance our impact.

Kind; Listens (not assumes); Compassionate; Innovative; Respectful; Diligent. These are some of the words that our Directors have used to describe our future COO. Our new COO will be an experienced leader with an appropriately healthy risk appetite who is willing to step out of their own comfort zone for the betterment of people that we support.

Ideally bringing knowledge of the social care and/or community services sectors, you will also be an enthusiastic networker who is comfortable engaging with a broad range of stakeholders across all sectors and walks of life, from politicians to influencers and campaigners.

Fundamentally, and most importantly, you will understand the importance of Equal Value Partnerships and togetherness, and of speaking truth to power. If you do, then I think you will fit in very well here and I hope that you choose to apply.

Applications should include a CV and covering letter that provides brief responses to the following four questions:

What is motivating you to want to work for Thurrock Lifestyle Solutions as our Chief Operating Officer? (200 words) What best prepares you to become our new Chief Operating Officer? (200 words) What does ‘Equal Value Partnerships’ mean to you, and can you provide an example of when you have worked within a similar context in the past? (200 words) What has been your proudest moment in your career? (200 words)
