Company Description
Catch22 exists to help build a society where everyone has a good place to live, good people around them, and a fulfilling purpose. We call these our '3Ps'.
We achieve this in two ways. Firstly, we improve lives on the frontline through delivery of public services. Secondly, we use our knowledge to change 'the system', to fix the complex web that can trap and disempower those it was set up to help. With the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business, we are uniquely placed to deliver on this challenging agenda.
Job Description
We are looking for an experienced and values-led Senior Service Manager – Health & Wellbeing to provide operational leadership across a varied portfolio of children and young people’s services, including substance use, emotional health, risk and resilience, prevention, early help and wider health and wellbeing provision.
Reporting to the Assistant Director, you will lead and support service managers and senior leads, ensuring services are safe, high quality, financially sustainable and focused on delivering meaningful outcomes for children, young people and families. You will maintain strong oversight of performance, safeguarding, quality, compliance, finance, people management and continuous improvement, taking early action where risks or pressures emerge.
You will work closely with commissioners, partners, internal colleagues and senior leaders to strengthen service delivery, support integrated pathways and contribute to Catch22’s strategic priorities. The role requires confident people leadership, strong operational grip, sound judgement and the ability to translate strategy into clear delivery plans and improvement activity.
