Charity People are recruiting on behalf of a wonderful unique children's welfare charity to find them a new part time Operations Manager. This is a new role, in a young but fast-growing charity who are progressing at a fast pace. They currently have a Finance and Operations Manager, but since there is such growth, they are now splitting the role and have created this temporary Operations Manager role, with the view of this becoming a longer-term fixture. You will initially report to the Finance and Operations Manager. This role can be worked remotely, with at least one or two days per month being spent in the charity's office in Leeds, so it would be ideal to have the successful candidate residing in proximity, or someone who can travel easily into Leeds monthly.

This a small organisation who requires some further guidance and support from the new Operations Manager, to really help underpin everything already in place, and to drive the operational side of the charity forward. There are around 20 staff members, and many more volunteers, and everyone is extremely passionate about the cause, and would love the Operations manager to be just as passionate and onboard with the values of the charity's team.

Key areas of focus for this role are HR, IT, Data Protection and Health & Safety. There is work to be done in each area, reviewing, tweaking, amending, and recommending any changes across policies, systems, staff training, risk assessments, benchmarking, employment contracts and safeguarding. So, this is an exciting role where you can get stuck into various aspects and help shape the future structure of the charity.

This role is interviewing and starting by mid-January 2025. Due to the festive period, we will come back to applicants by early January
