As the leading ambassadors for education within the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle we are delighted to be sharing the role of Education Operations Manager within our Education Team based at St Cuthbert’s House, Newcastle upon Tyne.
This position is pivotal in supporting the Director and Deputy Director of Education in current and future educational needs through the development, engagement, and preserving of our Catholic education. The successful candidate will be the interface to ensure our Education Department is proficient and productive and that resources are allocated effectively to enable us to support the delivery of a high-quality Catholic education.
Importantly you will have a sound understanding and experience of operational management. Moreover, you will need to show us how you have undertaken, reported upon and delivered professional evaluation processes, presenting findings for example to a committee, board or agency. The size of the project or initiative whether large or small, is less important, it is your experience in preparing and delivering project briefs and project action plans which is quintessential.
Our Education Team is committed to the highest standards of stakeholder engagement and as such the successful applicant is expected to provide an exemplary level of service to our Catholic Education Trusts (CETs) and school communities assisting them to deliver a first-class service in Catholic education.
A consummate professional you will have the ability to handle sensitive information with discretion and confidentiality, which means you will have both excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Thoughtful and perceptive you are the kind of person who is outgoing, friendly and welcoming. With a can do, will do attitude, you will lead by example supporting others to achieve the best possible outcomes for the team, our Catholic schools and Diocesan education. Committed to continuous improvement, your attitude is proactive and engaging, discerning and articulate.
What can you expect from us?
A truly inclusive culture where our Values of Integrity, Trust, Respect, Compassion and Service form our foundations from which all other things transcend and as such you will be supportive of and sympathetic to our ethos and the Catholic faith.
