Regional Operations Lead - Complex Care
📍 Yorkshire ¦ Leadership Opportunity ¦ Driving Outstanding Complex Care Services
Are you an experienced social care leader with a passion for delivering exceptional support to people with complex needs?
At The Wilf Ward Family Trust, we're looking for a Regional Operations Lead to lead and develop our Complex Care services across Yorkshire. This is a unique opportunity to drive quality, innovation, and growth while ensuring the people we support live extraordinary lives.
About the Role
You'll provide leadership across a portfolio of Complex Care services, supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, complex health needs, and behaviours of concern. You'll work closely with Service Managers to ensure services are safe, compliant, person-centred, and consistently deliver outstanding outcomes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
