The Psychosynthesis Trust is a small educational charity that has a rich 50- year history of enabling human potential in the UK.  Our founders were pioneering leaders in education, psychology, science and spirituality and we continue to work at that nexus today.  Our purpose is to bring about wholeness in a fragmented world. 

We offer transformative learning experiences, counselling and psychotherapy and rooms to hire in the heart of London at our 92-94 Tooley Street building. 

Our values and our culture consider the whole, both in terms of individuals and society, as well as from an organisational perspective. We orientate to working with the qualities of love and will, bringing the principles of curiosity, inquiry and responsibility to our work and to each other.

The breadth and depth of The Psychosynthesis Trust’s training, counselling services and room-rental offering has developed significantly over the past 6 years.  With this increased growth and with the intention of wanting to help more people ‘know and transform themselves’, we are entering a new phase of the Trust’s life cycle.  As such, we are looking for a new Operations Manager who can help us develop and implement solid foundations and infrastructure from which to expand our work.  

The Context of the Operations Manager Role

As a member of the Operations team, you play a crucial role in maintaining the infrastructure for the community. It is part of a front facing team who are a first response for the building and all facilities. You will work with staff across all departments to make sure the core operations of the organisation are running effectively. Often troubleshooting live issues and thinking resourcefully about ways to respond to unusual and in-the-moment situations are part of this role.

A key focus for the Trust and for the Operations Manager in the coming years will be on imbedding integrated processes for the running of the building and developing excellent customer service standards.  We want the Trust to support the whole community in their different activities; be it delivering training, therapy, running events, or being a student. This role will also work closely with the core team with IT and systems issues and to build the team knowledge base, clarifying our ways of working to help support decision making and enabling improvements.

The right candidate will be a brilliant multitasker, able to juggle larger ongoing improvements with smaller day to day management. Keeping the longer-term goals in sight will maintain a smooth current state. You will have an appetite for wanting to understand how to grow and scale our operations to support our organisational growth, working closely with the Finance and Operations Director. We are looking for a candidate that is comfortable working with complexity and challenges that come along with process change while maintaining business as usual for customers.

We are looking for someone who is ready to support some exciting developments, as we have several large projects in motion that will be implemented over the next 6-18 months. You will be involved in changes that will improve the day to day running of our facilities at Tooley Street. 

We value diversity and the intersectionality of people and their backgrounds.  This is important to us as we seek to cultivate a creative and more expansive and inclusive attitude to difference in ourselves, our communities and our society.  So, we are particularly keen to receive applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic, people with disabilities, people who identify with being LGBTQIA or people who identify with being marginalised.

This is an exditing role for someone who wants to be part of a growing organisation on the pioneering edge of adult learning and education. We are a small team so there is great opportunity for personal and professional development and to feel like you are making a difference!
