Service Manager - Part time

Location: Northamptonshire

Salary: £21,600 per annum

Vacancy Type: Permanent, Part Time

About The Role

We’re launching a brand-new Day Rehab Programme in North Northamptonshire and are looking for a Service Manager to help shape and lead it from the ground up. This is a part-time role (21 hours per week, with flexible working patterns available), offering the chance to build a service that will make a real difference in people’s recovery journeys.

You’ll also support the development of a new LERO, helping it grow towards independence and sustainability, while working closely with the Regional Manager and wider partners.

What you’ll be doing

This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll balance operational delivery with strategic input.

• Lead delivery of the Day Rehab Programme (Self-Help Addiction Recovery model)
• Support the setup and development of a new LERO service
• Line manage a Lead Counsellor, Administrator, and LERO staff
• Work with the Regional Manager on strategy, business planning, and service improvements
• Build and maintain strong relationships with commissioners and key stakeholders
• Ensure accurate data, timely reporting, and full audit compliance
• Monitor performance against service level agreements and targets

What We're Looking For

You'll be confident leading services in a fast-moving environment, with the ability to support both people and performance.

• Experience in service management within health, social care, or substance misuse
• Strong leadership and team management skills
• Confidence working with data, reporting, and compliance frameworks
• Ability to develop partnerships and work collaboratively with external stakeholders
• A proactive, organised, and solutions-focused approach
• Commitment to safeguarding, quality, and continuous improvement

As this is a part-time role, it may particularly suit a practising counsellor, therapist, or other health and social care professional who wishes to combine service leadership with an existing private practice or portfolio career. However, we welcome applications from all candidates who can demonstrate the skills, experience, and availability required for the role.

No two days will be the same, you might be shaping service delivery in the morning, supporting your team through supervision in the afternoon, and reviewing performance data or meeting commissioners later in the day.

Some flexibility is required, including occasional evening or weekend work, and travel within the region may be necessary.

This is a rare opportunity to help design and embed a brand-new service from day one. You’ll play a key role in shaping recovery pathways, building a strong team culture, and ensuring high-quality support for service users.

As Learning and Networks Manager, you will play a central role in engaging funders, partners, and stakeholders, and delivering learning that helps shape future practice across Funders Together and the wider funding ecosystem.

This is an exciting point to join the organisation as we invest further in learning and our networks as a core part of our mission. Building on strong existing networks and well-established learning programmes, you will help strengthen and evolve our work for the future.

We’re looking for someone who thrives on learning, collaboration, and turning insight into action. You will enjoy building relationships, connecting people and ideas, and creating spaces where learning can lead to positive change in funding and outcomes for communities.

So who are we?

Funders Together is a charity focused on improving how funding supports communities and civil society to positively shape the world.

Our work centres on strengthening the effectiveness, fairness and impact of funding systems by championing practice rooted in equity, trust and collaboration. We work across the funding ecosystem, with partners in the public, private and third sectors, to support organisations to learn together, share insight and develop approaches that lead to stronger outcomes for communities. We bring together a growing family of initiatives and organisations working across the funding landscape.

Across our work, Funders Together connects funders, supports collaborative funding initiatives, develops insights informed by shared data, and creates space for mutual learning and joint action.

Importantly, they thrive in creating relational ways of working, and are curious and confident to try and test new ideas. They will enjoy working in a dynamic environment where priorities evolve and where good systems and coordination help ensure activity is delivered effectively.

The successful candidate will be comfortable working as part of a small and agile team, taking initiative in their work and contributing to continuous improvement in how we design and deliver learning across Funders Together.

A strong commitment to collaboration, equity, diversity and systemic change is essential, alongside a shared belief in the value of diverse lived experience in strengthening our work and impact.

We're proud of the diversity and vibrancy of our communities, and work to champion equity and justice in all that we do. We are actively working to ensure our staff team reflects the communities we serve and warmly welcome applications from people from Black and racially minoritised communities, people who identify as LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities, recognising that diverse lived experience strengthens our work and impact.
