About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity to join our recently formed group of early interventions services across the GM area.
Our services currently support service users from the age of 14 up to 65 years of age, and cover Wigan, Bolton, Salford, Trafford and North/Central and South Manchester.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone wishing to step into a more senior operational role, and to gain experience during a positive time of change and development for our services.
Role Responsibilities
As part of this role you will have access to regular support and supervision to guide you through this experience and you will have the opportunity to bring new ideas and innovations to our new network of services.
Although we envisage that the hours of this role will be within a Monday to Friday working week, we are happy to discuss options for flexible working.
The post holder will work closely with the clinical services manager, operational managers, and the quality and safety lead for the services on a day-to-day basis and take responsibility for a group of services within the current portfolio along with the other operational manager.
The identified group of services will be North Manchester EIT, Central Manchester EIT, South Manchester EI and citywide services. This will be based between Chorlton House and Central Park, however this may be subject to change dependent on service need, and the post holder will be expected to provide operational cover to all of the EI EDIT services as required.
