About the Role
We are looking for a proactive, hands-on Operations Support Manager to oversee service delivery across a compact portfolio of high-end client sites. This role covers up to 10 sites across Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, and Newcastle.
This is a fully site-based, multi-site position. You will lead and develop cleaning teams, maintain consistently high standards, carry out regular site audits and deliver hands-on deep-cleaning and restorative work when required.
Reporting to the Operations Manager, you will take responsibility for the day-to-day service across your portfolio. This will include ensuring sites are properly staffed, monitoring attendance and performance, responding to client requirements and resolving operational issues quickly and effectively.
You will be a key point of contact for our site-based teams and clients. You will build strong working relationships, take ownership of issues through to resolution and identify opportunities to improve standards and service delivery.
