Head of Operations
Bath | c.£47,000 – £49,000 | Full-time | Permanent
Are you an experienced operational leader who enjoys bringing people, processes and systems together to make an organisation work better?
We’re working with a fantastic Bath-based education charity to recruit a new Head of Operations at an exciting point in its development.
This is a broad and influential role, overseeing the organisation’s central operations across finance, facilities, data and insight, and administration. You’ll manage a team of experienced functional leads and create the effective ‘engine room’ that allows the wider organisation to focus on delivering for its beneficiaries.
The role
Reporting directly to the Chief Executive, you’ll take responsibility for the smooth and effective running of central operations, with a particular focus on finance and financial planning, alongside organisational resilience, risk, compliance and continuous improvement.
Your responsibilities will include:
· Leading and developing a multi-disciplinary operations team
· Overseeing the finance function, including financial management, reporting and compliance
· Leading the annual budgeting, financial planning and resource allocation process
· Overseeing facilities, infrastructure, data and central administration
· Leading on operational risk, business continuity and regulatory compliance
· Improving systems, processes and ways of working across the organisation
· Supporting annual planning, organisational development and strategic delivery
· Working closely with the Chief Executive, senior leadership team and Trustees
· Managing relationships with external consultants, suppliers and other key partners
· Helping build a collaborative, effective and continuously improving organisational culture
The role has significant breadth, but you don’t need to be a technical specialist in every area. We’re looking for someone with the judgement to know when to lead directly, when to draw on the expertise within their team and when external support is required.
About you
This could suit someone from an operations, finance or facilities background who has progressed into broader organisational leadership.
You’ll need significant experience of managing across multiple functions, alongside a track record of leading teams and improving systems and processes.
You should also be comfortable overseeing budgets and financial processes, managing risk and compliance, and working with external suppliers or professional advisers. Experience within a charity, education, membership or other mission-driven environment would be particularly valuable.
Most importantly, we’re looking for a practical and solutions-focused leader who enjoys bringing different functions together. Someone who can see the bigger picture but is equally comfortable getting involved when needed, building strong relationships and maintaining momentum through change.
This is a new role within an organisation already midway through an ambitious development programme, so there is a genuine opportunity to influence how the organisation operates in the future.
Salary: c.£47,000 – £49,000
Location: Bath – predominantly campus-based with some flexibility for remote working
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full-time
Closing date: 21st September 2026

Tinnitus UK is looking for an experienced, ambitious and highly organised Operations Manager to join our senior team and play a key role in the leadership and future development of the charity.
You will work closely with our CEO, Board of Trustees and colleagues across the organisation to help turn our ambitions into action and ensure Tinnitus UK has the strong foundations, systems and ways of working it needs to succeed and to best support people living with tinnitus, and those who support them.
You will be an important link between the staff team and Board, bringing insight, challenge and practical solutions to organisational decision-making. You will lead and develop a small team, build strong relationships with external partners and suppliers, and take ownership of a broad portfolio spanning finance, governance, people, systems, risk, compliance and organisational improvement.
We are looking for someone who enjoys making organisations work better: someone who can see the bigger picture while also making sure the detail is right. You will be comfortable moving between strategic conversations with the CEO and Trustees and the practical work required to make things happen.
You do not need to be an expert in tinnitus. What matters is that you share our values, are motivated by our purpose and want to use your operational leadership to help Tinnitus UK achieve more for people affected by tinnitus.
About the role
As Operations Manager, you will provide leadership across Tinnitus UK’s internal operations, ensuring we have robust systems, financial oversight, governance, people processes and infrastructure in place to deliver our strategy.
Working closely with the CEO, you will translate organisational priorities into effective plans and ways of working. You will help create clarity across the organisation, identify risks and opportunities, make sure decisions are followed through and drive continuous improvement.
You will also play an important role in ensuring that Tinnitus UK is ready for the future: improving organisational resilience, strengthening our infrastructure and helping us develop the capacity to grow our reach and impact.
About you
We are looking for an experienced operations professional who enjoys making organisations work better and wants to take significant responsibility within a national charity.
You will be proactive, solutions-focused and comfortable bringing structure to complexity. You can see the bigger picture while making sure the detail is right, manage competing priorities and take ownership of work through to delivery.
You will be confident working with colleagues at all levels, from supporting and developing your team to discussing finance, governance and organisational priorities with the CEO and Trustees. You will build trusted relationships with external partners and suppliers and be comfortable offering constructive challenge when needed.
You will bring experience across a number of areas including organisational operations, financial management, project and change management, governance and risk, people management, suppliers and contracts, and organisational systems or CRM platforms.
Experience within the charity sector, membership organisations, digital transformation, events or professional education would be valuable, as would experience working closely with a CEO, senior leadership team or Board.
Most importantly, you will be collaborative, pragmatic and dependable, with the confidence to take ownership, maintain high standards and help create an organisation in which people can do their best work.
What we can offer
