Are you an experienced helpline operations professional who wants your work to make a real difference?
Join British Heart Foundation (BHF) and support our nurse‑led Heart Helpline, a service that provides information and support for people living with heart and circulatory conditions.
This isn’t a call centre job. It’s a chance to oversee the smooth running of a compassionate helpline where quality, safety and accessibility matter.
About the role
As our Helpline Operations Manager you’ll manage the day‑to‑day operations of our virtual helpline, including telephony, email and live-chat systems. You’ll oversee rotas, ensure the helpline is staffed adequately and help with data led planning and demand forecasting, making sure we’re always ready to support the people who need us.
You’ll look after key processes such as onboarding new team members with the technical aspects of the helpline, coordinating bank, and managing hours, shifts and payroll details.
Working closely with the Helpline Nurse Lead, you’ll support service improvement work, contributing to data reporting, technology development, information governance and quality audits. Your work will help us maintain a service that people trust during difficult moments.
About you
You’ll bring strong experience of running helpline or contact‑centre operations, ideally in a health, charity or support‑focused setting. You’ll also be confident with virtual call systems, organised, calm under pressure and comfortable using data to plan and problem‑solve.
Able to work well with clinical colleagues, technical teams and partners across the charity, you’ll care about delivering a high‑quality experience for every person who reaches out to us.
If you want a role with purpose and you’re motivated by leading a service that genuinely helps people, we’d love to hear from you.

This is a significant time for hospice and end of life care.
Hospices across the UK are in the worst financial situation they have faced for 20 years. The funding crisis means hospices are cutting services and making redundancies.

With this momentum and opportunity, we are looking for a talented and committed Policy and Public Affairs Manager to help us shape the future of palliative and end of life care.
