We are delighted to be recruiting a Band 8a Operations Manager to join the leadership team of the Neurodiversity Pathway in Children and Family Health Devon (CFHD). This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and experienced leader to support our evolving Neurodiversity Pathway at a time of substantial growth and transformation.
The postholder will work in partnership with our existing Band 8a Operations Manager, jointly holding operational responsibility for the pathway, with clear leadership over distinct areas to ensure coherence, autonomy, and impact. This role is ideal for someone with a strong operational background, a passion for neurodiversity-informed care, and the ability to drive systemwide service development and quality improvement.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Provide operational leadership to teams within the Neurodiversity Pathway, focusing on service needs and postholder strengths.
2. Work alongside pathway clinical leads to provide shared leadership for a multi-disciplinary, county-wide pathway.
3. Use data to monitor service delivery, identify performance improvements, and embed quality assurance processes.
4. Manage staffing structures, workforce development, recruitment, and retention within a growing service.
5. Drive service development, including implementing changes to support a Devon-wide integrated neurodiversity assessment pathway.
6. Lead and support staff through change, fostering a culture of inclusion, compassion, and shared responsibility.
7. Maintain and strengthen relationships with education, health, and social care partners to support joined-up care and early help initiatives.
