Operations Officer

Description:

Staffordshire & Derbyshire Dales

We help young people to build life-long belief in themselves, supporting them to take on their own challenges, follow their own passions and discover talents they never knew they had. Because when you prove yourself that you’re ready for anything nothing can hold you back.

Do you want to be part of that?

The Operations Officer will support the operational delivery and development of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) through managing a portfolio of Licensed Organisations (LOs). These LOs are mostly schools but we also work with other organisations including colleges, local authorities, charities, pupil referral units, youth groups and young offender institutions. As a regional office, we very rarely work directly with young people undertaking DofE programmes. You will work alongside a team of Operations Officers within DofE Central England, each of whom have a portfolio of LOs to support. The role will be field-based and when not attending meetings employees will work from home. You will need to have an appropriate home office set up and live within a reasonable distance of the portfolio area, outlined above.

What we are looking for:
We are looking to recruit a dynamic, proactive, and effective team player to join DofE Central England. You will report to an Operations Manager and will be responsible for the day-to-day contact and management of LOs to support the delivery of the DofE Central England business plan.
