Job description

At Guide Dogs, we help people with sight loss live the life they choose. We're seeking a skilled and compassionate Partnership Operations Manager to lead the delivery of our guide dog service across Northern Ireland.

In this key leadership role, you'll manage a team of Guide Dog Mobility Specialists and Dog Wellbeing Technicians, ensuring high-quality, standardised guide dog partnership services. You’ll be responsible for operational planning, staff performance, volunteer engagement, customer experience, and quality assurance, ensuring services are consistently safe, effective, and tailored to the needs of individuals and their families.

As a lead representative for Guide Dogs in Northern Ireland, you'll act as a spokesperson when required and maintain visibility across the region. You’ll build strong local relationships, promote our mission within relevant sectors, and ensure services are delivered in line with legislation and regulation specific to Northern Ireland.

You’ll bring experience in leading teams and delivering services for vulnerable people, along with a strong understanding of safeguarding, person-centred practice, and operational delivery. You should be confident in performance management, resource planning, and developing a positive team culture. Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills are essential.

A management qualification (such as ILM) or equivalent relevant experience is required. Familiarity with safeguarding policies, compliance, and relevant legislation for Northern Ireland is expected.

This is your chance to lead meaningful change, empowering people with sight loss to live more independently and confidently across Northern Ireland.

This role will be based at our Belfast office. You’ll be working 35 hours per week, worked 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
