Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity with a nationwide network of adoption and homing centres, volunteer-run branches and charity shops. During 2019 we helped around 191,000 cats and kittens, an average of 520 per day.
Like all organisations, at Cats Protection we have had to change the way we operate to ensure that we continue to be there for cats throughout the COVID pandemic whilst keeping our people safe.
We are now looking to recruit three senior operations managers on a fixed term basis, to help consolidate this new way of working whilst we assess our longer term needs and future strategy. These senior roles will bring greater resilience and agility to our team, whilst also creating the capacity for continuous improvement and innovation in our operations.
These field operations roles will be home based and take on day to day responsibility for the safe and effective operation and governance of our network of 35 centres and nearly 200 volunteer led branches across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Wherever you are located, you will lead a team of managers remotely based across all corners of the United Kingdom, ensuring they effectively manage their teams enabling us to have the greatest positive impact for cats.
With a focus on collaboration, underpinned by excellent interpersonal skills, developed within large (ideally national scale) organisations, you will have a track record of effectively leading large complex teams of both employees and volunteers remotely. You will be comfortable and confident in leading innovation in a rapidly changing environment, based on your sound understanding of the current challenges of the UK animal welfare sector.
In addition to your day to day management responsibilities there will be the opportunity to lead a cross directorate specialism with a more strategic focus. Specialisms will be allocated post recruitment and include, a focus on our operational approach in the devolved nations of the UK, cat welfare, and operational change and innovation.

National Theatre Wales are looking for a dynamic passionate person, with a range of either lived, or professional experience in building resilient, empowered and efficient people -centred teams, to join our senior leadership team.
This role does not demand direct experience of the arts and cultural sector.

This role has been created at an unprecedented time for the arts.
