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

· Supporting annual planning, organisational development and strategic delivery

· Working closely with the Chief Executive, senior leadership team and Trustees

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.

Location: Bath – predominantly campus-based with some flexibility for remote working
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full-time
