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.

· 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

· Helping build a collaborative, effective and continuously improving organisational culture

Head of Organisational Strategy and Operations (known internally as Infrastructure Lead) is a senior strategic leadership role within Healing Justice Ldn, working closely alongside the Executive Director to help shape and steward the organisational infrastructure, systems, and coordination practices needed for HJL’ s next phase of development.
The role exists to strengthen the connective infrastructure that enables HJL’ s organisational arms to operate autonomously while remaining aligned, collaborative, sustainable, and responsive within rapidly changing political, social, and movement landscapes.
Rather than focusing primarily on operational administration or hierarchical management, the role centres on developing values-aligned systems, organisational practices, and ways of working that support collective care, adaptability, organisational health, and long-term sustainability. Working across programmes, research, narrative strategy, operations, and leadership, the post holder will support communication, coordination, learning, and organisational coherence across the organisation while strengthening distributed leadership.
This role would suit someone who has previously held senior leadership responsibility across multiple organisational areas within a values-led, justice-oriented, community-based, or movement environment. As a newly created role within an evolving organisational structure, the responsibilities, focus, and ways of working within the role may continue to develop over time in response to organisational learning, growth, and changing needs.

Recruitment Timeline
About Healing Justice Ldn
Healing Justice Ldn (HJL) is a community-led organisation working at the intersections of health justice, collective care, healing, and systems change. Rooted in disability justice, transformative practice, and liberation work, HJL develops community-led approaches to wellbeing that address the structural impacts of racism, ableism, state violence, and inequality.
Through research, training, political education, movement support, and healing practice, HJL works to build the infrastructures, relationships, and capacities needed for long-term collective resilience and liberation. The organisation supports communities, organisers, practitioners, and movements to develop sustainable approaches to health, care, and social transformation.
HJL operates through an evolving organisational model centred around autonomy, connection, collaboration, and collective stewardship. Different organisational “ arms ” hold distinct areas of practice while remaining connected through shared values, coordination structures, and relational infrastructure.
As HJL enters a new phase of organisational development, there is an increasing need for organisational infrastructure, systems, governance, and connective coordination that can support sustainable growth while remaining responsive and accountable within rapidly changing political, social, and movement landscapes.

Who we are
Camphill Village Trust is a national charity that has been supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health support needs for more than 70 years. Across our communities in England, we enable people to lead meaningful, independent and connected lives through high-quality, person-centred support, underpinned by a strong commitment to inclusion, community and opportunity.
Our communities are distinctive places. Alongside high-quality care and support, people have opportunities to develop skills, build relationships and participate in meaningful activities through our farms, gardens, workshops, cafés, shops and wider community partnerships. Our connection with nature, land and community remains an important part of who we are and our ambition for the future.
Camphill Village Trust has been through a significant period of organisational change and is now entering an important next chapter. We are building greater stability across the organisation while continuing to develop the quality, consistency and sustainability of our services.
As part of this next phase, we are seeking an experienced Director of Operations to provide strategic leadership for our core care and support services and help shape their future development.
About the role
As Director of Operations, you will have strategic responsibility for our care and support services and play a critical role within our Executive Team.
Supported living sits at the heart of Camphill Village Trust and this appointment will bring deep operational and social care expertise, ensuring we continue to deliver safe, high-quality, person-centred services while developing a sustainable model for the future.
This is a significant leadership role with responsibility for a c.£20m budget and an experienced operational leadership team. You will provide strategic oversight of quality, safeguarding, regulatory compliance and operational performance, while working with colleagues to strengthen our approach to supported living and housing and ensure our services deliver meaningful outcomes for the people we support.
There is important transformation ahead. We need to continue strengthening quality and consistency, develop our operational and leadership capability, improve our understanding of service financial performance and ensure our structures and systems are fit for the future. We are also considering the future relationship between our housing and supported living provision and how our care and support model should evolve.
Our communities have experienced considerable change and they already have significant knowledge, commitment and capability. You will therefore take time to listen and understand before determining what needs to change, working alongside experienced colleagues and empowering leaders rather than imposing solutions.
You will also help us look ahead. We have ambitions to grow our impact and reach more people and you will develop strong relationships with commissioners and partners, understand emerging needs and opportunities and ensure future growth is both financially sustainable and consistent with the quality and values we expect.
This will be a highly visible role. We want our Executive leaders to understand our communities by spending meaningful time in them, meeting colleagues and the people we support, seeing our services first-hand and staying connected to the impact of the decisions we make.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for an established senior social care leader with significant experience leading complex care and support services.
You may have worked within learning disability and autism services, supported living or another relevant area of adult social care. Exact sector experience matters less than a strong understanding of regulated care and support, quality, safeguarding and the realities of delivering sustainable services in a challenging commissioning environment.
You will understand what excellent support looks like and bring the credibility to provide assurance and constructive challenge at Executive and Board level. Experience of CQC-regulated services and a strong understanding of the responsibilities associated with the Nominated Individual role will be particularly important.
Alongside your technical expertise, you will bring strong commercial and financial judgement. You will understand service models, commissioning arrangements and financial performance and make difficult decisions when necessary, without ever losing sight of the impact those decisions have on people’s lives.
Your leadership style will matter just as much as your experience.
We are looking for someone calm, considered and resilient; a leader who listens, builds relationships and creates confidence during change. You will recognise that meaningful transformation takes time and have the patience to understand what is already working before deciding what needs to change.
You will be comfortable working through others, developing capable leaders and drawing on the expertise around you rather than needing to have all the answers yourself.
Above all, you will share our commitment to putting people at the heart of decision-making and be excited by the opportunity to spend time within our communities, understand what makes Camphill Village Trust distinctive and help us build outstanding, sustainable services for the future.

Do you enjoy bringing order to complexity, spotting ways to improve how things work, and helping people succeed?
Classics for All is looking for an enthusiastic and organised Operations Intern to join our small, ambitious team. This is a rare opportunity to gain hands-on experience across the full breadth of charity operations while helping us expand access to Classics education for young people in state schools across the UK.
You'll work directly with our Chief Executive and colleagues across fundraising, communications, programme delivery and operations. Rather than being confined to a single project, you'll gain exposure to how a national charity actually works: from supporting trustee meetings and finance processes to helping run events, improving systems and maintaining our Salesforce database.
No two days are the same. One day you might be preparing papers for a trustee meeting, processing invoices or supporting organisational planning. The next you could be helping coordinate a national event, improving administrative processes or ensuring our data is accurate and up to date.
We designed this role as a developmental opportunity for someone looking to build a career in the charity, education, cultural or non-profit sectors. You'll receive support, mentoring and practical experience that will help you develop highly transferable skills in project coordination, governance, administration, finance and organisational management.
Why join Classics for All?
Classics for All is a national education charity working to ensure that every young person, regardless of background or postcode, has the opportunity to explore the ancient world through language, culture and history. We support schools across the UK to introduce and sustain Classics, helping young people develop confidence, curiosity and cultural understanding.
Our team is collaborative, supportive and mission-driven. You'll join us at an exciting time as we develop a new organisational strategy and build on the impact we've already achieved supporting schools and teachers across the country.
We're looking for someone who:
We particularly welcome applications from people who may not see themselves reflected in the traditional image of Classics.
You do not need to have studied Classics and there definitely won't be any Latin tests. We're interested in your potential, motivation and willingness to learn. We warmly welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and especially from groups currently underrepresented within the Classics community.
What we offer
We want a future where every child can unlock the wisdom, wonder, and imagination of the ancient world, regardless of background or circumstance.
