Operations Manager Job

The ideal candidate will have undertaken a similar role previously, managing one or more of the functions listed in the job description.  They must be a self-starter, able to work on own initiative to ensure the HPA is meeting high standards of governance and organisation.  They should have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal and excellent knowledge of Microsoft packages (word, excel, outlook, teams etc) and used to writing and implementing policies.  They will also have some experience of managing outsourced suppliers to an effective outcome. They will be used to working as part of a team and collaboratively. They should have a can-do attitude as we are a small team and you never know what jobs come along!

The HPA office is a small friendly team based in a barn conversion near Faringdon in Oxfordshire, with free parking but not easily accessed by public transport. The office is very dog friendly and so you will need to be comfortable around dogs. You can bring your own well-behaved dog to the office.

This role is office based 9am – 5pm Monday to Friday, although part-time may be considered. Some weekend working may sometimes be required (e.g. for events) during the polo season (May – Sept) but time off in lieu (TOIL) will be provided for each day or half day worked over a weekend.  Additionally, some infrequent evening working may be required for meetings.
