We are looking for an Operations Manager to deliver frontline emergency response, practical welfare and pastoral support operations around the coast of the UK and Eire.  This job is about fishermen and their families and the Fishermen’s Mission staff that support them in times of need.  You will be able to drive consistency and professionalism in service delivery, and lead the application of the charity’s values. You will need to offer guidance and answers to complex issues, ensuring staff offer practical solutions and make a real difference.  As a key player in the Head Office team, you will also be able to lead the development of operations at the Executive level.

The Fishermen’s Mission is a Christian charity that has been around since 1881.  We help active and retired fishermen and their families.  You could be part of our vital work.   Relevant experience is important, but we’re not caught up in qualifications; we are looking for the right person.  Someone who can organise and inspire a dispersed and diverse team to perform willingly and consistently. Sound like you? Get in touch.

Appointment will be subject to satisfactory references and an enhanced DBS check. We follow Safer Recruitment guidelines so all applicants will be required to complete our application form (found on our website or with this advert) for their application to be considered.

It is anticipated that the appointed person would visit Head Office on a regular basis but not be based there. The role will require a great deal of travel throughout the UK so we would expect the Operations Manager to be on the road for a significant amount of time.

Interviews will take place at our Head Office in Whiteley, Hampshire on 14 October 2019
