REF-227 594

At TLG, we’re passionate about building an exceptional staff team that’s committed to making a real difference in the lives of struggling children across the UK. We’re always on the lookout for great people to journey with us towards our vision, and we’re excited to offer a unique opportunity for a motivated and mission-driven individual to join us as Operations Manager.

About the role

The Operations Manager sits at the very heart of TLG, working closely with the Executive Director to turn vision into reality and ensure the organisation runs smoothly at every level. From trustee board and governance rhythms, through the leadership team, and out across the whole organisation, this role is pivotal in holding together the systems, structures and environments that enable TLG to flourish.

Our Operations Manager will lead and coordinate core organisational functions, champion a healthy and effective office culture, and provide confident, cross‑organisational leadership. With oversight of strategic and operational coordination, they will ensure that TLG’s systems, rhythms and ways of working are not just efficient, but actively support our people to thrive and our mission to be lived out day‑to‑day.

Your Impact

We’re looking for someone who brings clarity, steadiness and strong operational instincts to a fast‑moving, purpose‑driven organisation. They will thrive on making organisational life run smoothly - someone who can confidently hold the rhythms, plans and processes that keep TLG functioning at its best, while translating bigger strategic priorities into clear, practical action.

This person will be naturally organised, proactive in spotting improvements and able to simplify complexity into manageable systems that serve the whole team. They will be comfortable influencing across the organisation, building trust, and partnering well with others. Above all, they will care deeply about TLG’s mission and bring a thoughtful, solutions-focused approach that strengthens our culture, compliance and operational excellence.

Job Purpose

At the heart of the Operations Manager role is the opportunity to shape how TLG works at its best. This role brings strategic insight to the design and continual improvement of our organisational rhythms - streamlining key processes, strengthening ways of working, and unlocking efficiencies that free our people to focus on what matters most. By stewarding the operational heartbeat of TLG, the Operations Manager ensures that our rhythms are not only well‑managed, but intentionally aligned with our mission, enabling clarity and momentum across the organisation.

TLG is a Christian charity and, as a team, we want to bring our faith to the work we do; as such, we are recruiting an individual with a strong and vibrant Christian faith. We would welcome applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds to enable us to better reflect the needs of the communities we serve.

Hours: 22.5 - 37.5 per week (0.6 – 1.0 FTE)

Closing Date: Sunday 26th April

Initial Interviews: Thursday 30th April – Online

Final Interviews: Monday 11th May – at our National Support Centre in West Yorkshire

Lead with purpose. Shape services that change lives.

Unpaid carers are at the heart of everything we do. Every day across Hertfordshire, carers balance extraordinary responsibilities — often without recognition, rest or support. At Carers in Hertfordshire, we exist to change that.

We are values‑led, carer‑led and deeply committed to ensuring carers feel recognised, listened to and supported. As we evolve our organisational structure to maximise our impact, we are seeking an inspirational Operational Manager to help lead our services into the next chapter.

The Opportunity

This is a senior leadership role with real breadth, influence and meaning. As Operational Manager, you will ensure our core services are delivered with compassion, quality and consistency — while never losing sight of the lived experience of carers themselves.

You will lead and support our Service Managers and Team Leaders, create clarity through strong operational planning, and foster a culture where empathy, learning and accountability go hand in hand. You’ll use insight and data to drive improvement, while ensuring that carers’ voices remain central to how services are designed, delivered and evaluated.

This is a role for someone who can balance heart and head — leading people with kindness and emotional intelligence, while confidently overseeing performance, safeguarding, resources and contracts.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Providing visible, values‑led leadership across all operational services
• Supporting and developing managers and team leaders through reflective, people‑centred practice
• Ensuring services are safe, accessible, inclusive and consistently high quality
• Leading the creation and delivery of the annual Operational Plan
• Embedding meaningful monitoring and evaluation that reflects carers’ experiences and outcomes
• Championing safeguarding that is robust, compassionate and proportionate
• Ensuring excellent contract performance, accountability and reporting
• Managing resources and budgets in ways that protect our caring ethos
• Embedding EDI, participation and co‑production across services
• Holding operational risk with integrity, transparency and care

About You

You will bring senior operational leadership experience from a charity, health, social care or community setting, alongside a deep commitment to values‑led, people‑focused practice.

You’ll be someone who:

• Leads with empathy, credibility and clarity
• Is experienced in managing managers across complex services
• Has strong safeguarding expertise with both children and adults
• Understands how to use data, insight and evaluation to improve services — without losing humanity
• Is confident balancing compassion with accountability
• Believes deeply in co‑production, inclusion and listening to lived experience

Experience with carers’ services, young people’s services, condition‑specific projects or contact management systems (such as Salesforce) would be an advantage — but above all, we’re looking for someone whose values align with ours.

Why Join Us?

This is a chance to play a pivotal role in a respected, carer‑led organisation at a moment of positive change. You’ll help shape how we work, support staff wellbeing, and ensure carers across Hertfordshire receive the understanding, respect and support they deserve.

If you’re driven by purpose, grounded in compassion, and ready to lead with impact — we’d love to hear from you.

Interviews will be held on 30th April.  Those invited for interview will be notified by close of play on 27th April.

Purpose of the job

You will work closely with colleagues across Fundraising, Communications and Marketing, Delivery and Impact, collaborating to maximise the value and impact of corporate partnerships.

You will be working across both account management and new business, building on your knowledge and expertise across these two disciplines to proactively spot new income generation opportunities for the charity, as well as unlock non-financial support through skills-based volunteering, pro bono projects, and collaborative communications and brand engagement opportunities. This role also includes line management responsibilities.
