Staffordshire Women’s Aid is looking for an experienced and values\-driven Operations Manager to join our Senior Leadership Team and play a key role in the next chapter of our organisation.

We’re looking for someone with substantial experience of strategic and operational leadership, a strong understanding of safe and trauma\-informed services, excellent people management skills and a genuine commitment to empowering women and children affected by violence and abuse.

About the Role

As Operations Manager you will:

• Sit as a full, committed member of SWA's Senior Leadership Team, working in line with SWA's aims, values and policies.


• Work with the CEO and Board of Trustees to develop, deliver and monitor our five\-year strategy, keeping every decision anchored to SWA's vision.


• Work with the Business and Finance Manager to build and monitor SWA's performance management framework and help shape organisation\-wide policy.


• Own the growth and transformation of front\-line services \- spotting where we can do more, do it better, or reach people we currently can't.

This role is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference to those living with, escaping or recovering from the impacts of domestic and sexual violence and abuse in Staffordshire.

It's a big, varied role \- part strategist, part safeguarding lead, part people manager, part finance partner \- and no two weeks will look the same. If you want a job where the work you do on a Tuesday afternoon changes what happens to someone in crisis on a Wednesday night, this is it.

A large part of our services are run by women for women. This role is open to female applicants only as permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010\. The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act.
