Management jobs

Primary Purpose:

The Head of Services is a key member of Age UK Cheshire’s Senior Leadership Team, designated Safeguarding Lead, and leads all aspects of the organisation’s service operations.
Following the successful integration of existing services, this role will work closely with a supportive CEO and board on the next phase of development of our new organisation, building on the strong history and reputation of two charities, to meet the needs of a growing ageing population across Cheshire.
The successful candidate will understand the strategic need to combine impactful data with storytelling, influencing internal and external stakeholders to join us in our mission.
The role involves representing Age UK Cheshire externally, championing the voices of older people, to influence decision makers and commissioners to help ensure older people aren’t forgotten in a challenging funding environment.

Additional Information: 

Rising poverty, digital exclusion and rural isolation are creating a perfect storm of loneliness for thousands of older people. Age UK Cheshire is a local, independent charity dedicated to supporting older people across the whole of Cheshire. We offer a lifeline for people in later life to access the information and support they need.

If you embody our values of respectful, honest and person centred, and are passionate about supporting those who built the world we now live in, we’d love to hear from you.

You’ll be joining Age UK Cheshire at a pivotal time following the merger of Age UK Cheshire and Age UK East Cheshire in July 2024. Following the successful integration of existing services, you’ll work closely with a supportive CEO and board on the next phase of development of our new organisation, building on the strong history and reputation of two charities, to meet the needs of a growing ageing population across Cheshire.

You’ll have a strategic vision for developing and future proofing services, whilst staying close to operational realities. You will lead the delivery of measurably impactful services, and ensure our resources are directed where they can make the greatest difference for older people across Cheshire.

You’ll understand the strategic need to combine impactful data with storytelling, influencing internal and external stakeholders to join us in our mission.

You’ll represent Age UK Cheshire externally, championing the voices of older people, to influence decision makers and commissioners to help ensure older people aren’t forgotten in a challenging funding environment. You’ll build strong relationships and partnerships across the local authorities, NHS, and voluntary sectors.

This is also a people leadership role. You'll develop and manage a team, creating a high-performing culture where accountability and support go hand in hand. You'll role-model best practice, share knowledge freely, challenge constructively, and coach colleagues to develop their own approach.

This role offers a unique chance for an experienced service-delivery leader to shape the future of a respected local charity, drive innovation and impact — in a supportive, values led culture with an ambitious and passionate team.

Together we can make Cheshire a place where older people are not only seen, but respected and valued every day.

About Compassion in Dying and the information line service

At Compassion in Dying, we want people to be in control of their end-of-life decisions because no one is better to make them. We support people to make informed decisions, start honest conversations about death and dying with loved ones, and record and revisit their wishes whenever they want to.

Many people tell us they want to be in charge of decisions about their care and treatment, but struggle to access clear information or encounter reluctance to have open conversations about death and dying. Our nurse-led information line exists to change that. We enable people to plan ahead and to be in control of their end-of-life decisions, including in situations where they may no longer be able to make decisions for themselves.

·Contribute to the development of information resources for the public and professionals.

Key responsibilities

Information service

·Equip people with an understanding of the law and best practice to enable them to advocate for themselves or loved ones in best-interest decision-making meetings.

·Manage casework, including arranging and responding to follow-up calls and emails for people requiring ongoing support.

·Listen carefully to people’s experiences, ensuring they feel heard, understood and acknowledged.

·Support people to feel confident asking relevant questions and discussing care options with health professionals, or doing so on behalf of someone who lacks capacity.

·Be comfortable discussing end-of-life issues and respond to enquiries in a professional and sensitive manner.

·Maintain awareness of other organisations’ services and sources of support.

·Share learning from the people we support across the organisation, including with policy, media, and marketing and fundraising teams.
