Mobilisation Manager
Join Avalon at an exciting time of growth and transformation
Avalon is a growing, values-led charity supporting people with learning disabilities, autistic people, and individuals with complex needs to live their best lives.
As we continue to grow across Yorkshire and neighbouring areas, we are looking for an experienced, driven, and operationally strong Mobilisation Manager to help lead the safe and successful implementation of new services, transitions, and strategic growth projects.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an ambitious organisation at a really exciting time — helping shape new services, strengthen partnerships, and ensure people experience safe, high-quality, person-centred support from day one.
About The Role
Reporting to the Business Development Manager, the Mobilisation Manager will play a key role in ensuring new services are mobilised safely, efficiently, and sustainably.
You’ll work closely with operational teams, commissioners, housing providers, HR, recruitment, quality, and finance colleagues to coordinate all aspects of service mobilisation and operational readiness.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a fast-paced and highly varied role requiring someone who can confidently manage multiple priorities whilst maintaining strong governance, organisation, and attention to detail.
Responsibilities Will Include
- Leading mobilisation projects from contract award through to operational handover
- Developing mobilisation plans, timelines, risk registers, and action trackers
- Supporting recruitment, workforce readiness, onboarding, and TUPE activity
- Ensuring services are operationally and CQC-ready from day one
- Coordinating cross-functional workstreams across operational and corporate teams
- Supporting digital implementation and operational transformation projects
- Building strong relationships with commissioners, families, housing providers, and stakeholders
- Supporting post-go-live stabilisation and continuous improvement activity
About You
We’re looking for someone who has:
- Strong operational management experience within social care
- Experience leading service mobilisations, projects, or operational transitions
- Excellent organisational and coordination skills
- Commercial awareness and the ability to balance pace, quality, and sustainability
- A strong understanding of safeguarding, governance, and CQC expectations
- The ability to work calmly and effectively within fast-paced, complex environments
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
Most importantly, we want someone who shares Avalon’s values and is passionate about delivering high-quality, person-centred support.
