Jobs at Healthy Minds
JOB VACANCY: OPERATIONAL MANAGER
We are seeking an Operational Manager to bring additional managerial capacity to Healthy Minds (Calderdale Wellbeing), a user-led mental health charity working across Calderdale. Through a range of educational and supportive activities, we aim to help people have better emotional wellbeing by understanding their experiences and finding what works for them to have healthier, happier lives.
Working closely with our Chief Officer and existing Operational Manager, as well as the staff and volunteer teams who deliver services, this is a core role within the organisation. The Operational Manager will oversee development and delivery of our Time Out and Roshani services, and manage key functions that support frontline delivery: communications, facilities, and administration.
This will be an exciting challenge for the right person in a sometimes demanding environment. Healthy Minds is a well-established and growing organisation: we have worked with around 30,000 people in the 10 years since our first service opened. The new Operational Manager role will build capacity to ensure we keep pace with increasing demand.
Could this be you?
You will:
· Have a solid track record in a supervisory / managerial role
· Have a good, pragmatic understanding of working in the voluntary / community sector
· Be a creative and practical problem-solver who engages the team to find solutions
· Have a good understanding of mental health recovery and maintaining emotional wellbeing
· Have experience in support work, group work, community development, advice or similar roles
· Value and respect people’s personal and professional experience
Hours: full-time (37.5 hours per week). This is a permanent post, subject to funding.
Pay: NJC pt 35 (2019-20): £32,029 per annum plus 5% pension
