Job description

We are now looking for an exceptional Senior Operations Manager  to lead the organisation into its next phase - someone who can balance strategic leadership with hands-on operational delivery, while continuing to build on the Centre’s strong reputation.

The Sunshine Centre is a well-established and highly valued community hub, supporting children and families across Banbury through early years provision, family services and strong local partnerships.

This is a rare opportunity to lead a purpose-driven organisation where your impact will be visible, meaningful and genuinely valued within the community.

The role

As Senior Operations Manager you will take overall responsibility for the leadership and performance of the Centre, working closely with the Board of Trustees to shape its future direction.

You will:

  • Provide clear strategic leadership and deliver the Centre’s long-term vision

  • Oversee day-to-day operations across early years provision, childcare and family services

  • Lead and develop a team of 30-35 staff, including the Senior Leadership Team

  • Ensure high standards of safeguarding, compliance and regulation (including Ofsted)

  • Take ownership of financial sustainability, including budgeting, fundraising and income generation

  • Drive continuous improvement, responding to community needs and feedback

  • Act as a visible ambassador, building strong relationships with families, partners and stakeholders

This is a hands-on leadership role, requiring both strategic thinking and close involvement in day-to-day delivery.

About you

You’ll be a confident, values-led leader with the ability to inspire others and deliver real impact.

You will bring:

  • Proven leadership experience within early years, childcare, charity or community settings

  • Experience working in regulated environments (e.g. Ofsted), with strong safeguarding knowledge

  • A track record of securing funding through fundraising, bid writing or income generation

  • Strong financial and commercial awareness

  • The ability to turn strategy into practical delivery

  • Experience leading and developing high-performing teams

  • A genuine passion for improving outcomes for children and families 

Why join the Sunshine Centre?

  • Lead a respected, community-rooted organisation with a strong local impact

  • Shape the future strategy and long-term sustainability of the Centre

  • Work with a committed team and supportive Board of Trustees

  • Make a meaningful difference to children, families and the wider community
