Job description

Are you an experienced operations lead who thrives on creating strong systems, supporting teams to do their best work, and ensuring an organisation runs efficiently and effectively? Do you have a solid grounding in HR, finance, compliance and governance, alongside a proactive and collaborative approach to leadership? Are you passionate about building a positive working culture that centres values of equity, care, and professionalism? If so, you could be the ideal candidate for our Head of Operations role.

Women’s Resource Centre is the national umbrella body for the UK women’s sector. We are currently recruiting for a Head of Operations to provide strategic and hands-on management of our operations, HR, governance and finance, ensuring a stable and supportive foundation for our work.

You’ll be a confident and inclusive leader with strong interpersonal skills and a track record of managing systems, people and organisational processes. You will play a key role in shaping and upholding our working culture, supporting a committed team, and helping us deliver for the women’s sector with clarity and accountability.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a deep understanding of operational delivery in a small charity setting, who brings energy, empathy, and a high level of organisation to their work. You will be committed to feminist values, social justice, and the strengthening of the UK women’s sector—particularly Black, minoritised and refugee women’s organisations.
