Operations Manager

Operations Manager (Birmingham)

Do you thrive when people are at the centre? If you’re driven by practical improvement, confident in leading teams, and passionate about delivering safe, high-quality care that helps people live independently, we’d love to hear from you.

At GreenSquareAccord, we believe everything we do is about people – whether that’s providing a good quality, safe home or care that enables independence. Colleagues genuinely live and breathe this social purpose. To strengthen the way we deliver, we’re looking for an Operations Manager to help shape day-to-day operations, support frontline teams, and ensure our services consistently meet the highest standards.

What you’ll do

As Operations Manager, you’ll turn vision into results. You’ll oversee operational performance across the Birmingham area, driving quality, safety, and continuity of service. You’ll also bring structure, clarity and momentum to how we work – so colleagues can focus on what matters most: delivering excellent support to the people we serve.

• Lead operational delivery by coordinating day-to-day service needs, ensuring plans translate into real outcomes for customers and colleagues.
• Drive quality and compliance through active monitoring, audits, continuous improvement and effective issue management.
• Strengthen safe, effective care by supporting care standards, risk management, and escalation processes where required.
• Develop and support teams coaching managers and frontline colleagues, improving practice, and building capability across the operation.
• Use data to improve performance, tracking key operational metrics (for example: quality indicators, service delivery performance, workforce capacity and incident trends).
• Maintain strong partnerships, working collaboratively with stakeholders to remove barriers and support consistent service delivery.
• Manage operational governance by chairing or contributing to operational meetings, ensuring actions are followed through and learning is embedded.
• Ensure robust communication across the operational chain. Clear priorities, timely updates and transparent decision-making.

What we’re looking for

You’ll likely have experience in operations management, service management, domiciliary/regional leadership, or a related environment where quality, safeguarding, and continuous improvement are core. You’ll be comfortable juggling competing priorities while maintaining a calm, solution-focused approach.

• Proven leadership in an operational setting; able to motivate teams, set standards and support performance improvement.
• Strong understanding of quality and governance confident with audit, continuous improvement, incident management and compliance expectations.
• Sound judgement and professionalism you make decisions grounded in safety, ethics and the needs of customers.
• Excellent communication skills you can explain, influence and align people at all levels.
• Ability to manage complexity balancing workforce capacity, service demand and operational risk.
• Collaborative mindset you work with others to create momentum, not just manage tasks.

Why this role matters

This isn’t a back of house job. Your work will directly affect how safe, consistent and person-centred support feels day to day. When you strengthen operational processes, reduce avoidable friction, and support colleagues to do the right thing confidently, the impact is immediate on quality of care, on customer outcomes, and on the wellbeing of the workforce.

We’re looking for someone who can bring both people leadership and operational experience. Someone who understands social housing and the importance of the work we do.
