Operations Director (North) Linkage Community Trust
The Linkage Community Trust was established in 1976, born from the recognition that for many people with varying degrees of learning disability, there is a shortage of appropriate support for them to lead full, creative and purposeful lives in their community. We’ve now been successfully supporting people for nearly fifty years. We deliver high quality care, day services, employability services, sensory outreach and specialist further education throughout Greater Lincolnshire and Yorkshire.
Following a restructure, we have added the position Operations Director (North) to our Executive Leadership Team. We are driven by the desire to run services across the whole charity which provide the best possible outcomes across the portfolio of Care, Day Services and Education. Reporting to the CEO, you will have a broad remit and a large team, you will instil a culture of continuous improvement. You will ensure the students and the people we support are at the centre of decision making whilst ensuring all our services are financially sustainable.
This is a broad and unusual role, working across care, day services and education. We are interested in speaking with people who have experience in one or more of these areas but are open minded about the ideal profile. Your strong leadership skills (from care, specialist education or both) will combine with a values driven approach. You may be currently at Director level or taking a step up in your career. Most importantly you will share our passion for ensuring that people with learning disabilities and autistic people lead full, creative and purposeful lives in their community.
The Linkage Community Trust is deeply committed to equity, diversity and inclusion, and we welcome applications from people whose experiences, perspectives and backgrounds will strengthen our organisation and enrich our leadership.
