You will form part of a senior management team reporting directly to the CEO and be responsible for ensuring Chapter’s services, projects and activities operate to a high standard and in line with operational procedures.

The Operations Manager is responsible for ensuring effective delivery of Chapter’s services, supporting and managing staff teams in line with Chapter’s strategic plan and service outputs.

Ideally, but not essentially you will be experienced in leading change management with an understanding of continuous improvement concepts. You will have experience of mobilising new services and a proven ability to mobilise teams of paid staff and volunteers. Additionally, you will be responsible for the HR function across the organisation, taking an active role in recruitment, onboarding, contract changes, appraisals and performance management.

As a member of the senior management team, you will need to work effectively with the Board of Trustees and the CEO to develop strategies, policies and processes for the organisation. You will deputise for the CEO in their absence and provide capacity at a strategic level to ensure that Chapter is a leading mental health charity across Cheshire.

This is a rare opportunity to develop your career by becoming the leader of a small charity.

Aftermath Support began as a pilot scheme for Merseyside, funded and supported by the Home Office, with the single aim of improving the support provided to victims of incidents involving road death and serious injury. The pilot scheme ended in 2005 and since then the charity has grown to be a registered charity that offers free, confidential advice and support from trained volunteers. This ranges from emotional support on how to cope with grief to practical support such as advice on funeral Grants and civil law.

The charity works closely with victims and bereaved families and is supported by numerous other organisations to form a considerable network of support. An essential component of this work is that it empowers victims to make informed choices in relation to the support available to them as well as raising public awareness of the devastation road traffic collisions cause to the victims and their families.

As one client said:

“I found it very hard to process and cope after my accident. Julie guided me through it and I always felt that I could trust her 100%. I don’t know how I would have coped without her help and can honestly say that the work you do is fantastic”.

Following the retirement of the current General Manager, the Board are keen to appoint a new leader that can work with them to develop the charity further. The role is about building internal capacity and resources, especially IT and systems. It’s also about continuing to expand and develop a skilled and passionate group of volunteers who work directly with clients and partner organisations.

You’ll be someone that has management experience and is ready for a leadership role. You’ll have the skills to motivate staff and volunteers and the personal drive and energy to bring about change in the organisation.

As you’d expect with a small organisation, you’ll need to roll your sleeves up and help deliver the service – supporting the staff team and volunteers in working directly with victims and families. You’ll also manage the organisation – its finances and processes, so fundraising skills would be a huge advantage. In return, you’ll get a job that is fast-paced, flexible, important and incredibly rewarding.
