Maintaining excellent links with other health and social work and social care professionals. Participate in the strategic management of the organisation through formal groups; taking a lead on specific issues as and when required. Maintaining an overview of risk management for the organisation and services, and to take appropriate action to manage and minimize risks. Supporting Service Managers to develop services in line with Carr Gomm’s strategy, including the consideration of alternative and imaginative ways to support new and existing people. Ensuring that the services are working in line with Carr Gomm’s policies, procedures and values to meet the outcomes of the individual people supported. Ensuring that the services operate flexibly in response to changing requirements. Providing leadership and support to the Service Managers and other key staff, to assistant them to carry out their responsibilities in managing the services. Working with the Service Managers to ensure the services are contractually compliant, and financially viable by managing budgets. Being a strong role-model, and working with HR colleagues to lead positive employee relations and good working practice. To take charge of your own priorities for professional development, which you will be supported to achieve.

Who we are looking for:

Successful Operations Managers may come from different backgrounds and have a range of work and life experiences. All are creative and a have flair for engaging and inspiring people, whilst sharing our values of respect, interdependence, choice, control, openness and honesty, kindness, and compassion.

Key to being successful in this role in Forth Valley is the experience of managing person-centered services to individuals with often quite complex learning and physical disabilities, and an awareness of what getting it right for people means, both when developing new services, and when driving quality in existing services.

In our eyes, the best Operations Managers are natural leaders who are passionate, logical, and flexible; they have excellent communication and people skills which they use to forge strong, productive relationships; and they have the capacity to deliver. They are also confident problem solvers – curious with potential solutions and ideas to improve new ways of working and contribute to the development of Carr Gomm.

We expect that you will have experience of managing a range of community care services providing complex support. We also expect that you will have an understanding the Scottish Social Care sector, alongside good knowledge of the requirements of regulatory bodies such as the Care Inspectorate and SSSC.
