Package DescriptionHead of Operations
Salary: £60,000 plus £5,000 car allowance
Location: North West, Cheshire, Stoke and Stafford, with a wider clinical remit across the organisation
Current professional registration as an Adult Nurse, Learning Disability Nurse or Mental Health Nurse is essential for this role.
At Aspirations Care, we don’t just offer jobs — we offer meaningful careers. We’re looking for a Head of Operations who is a clinically credible nurse who has progressed into senior operational leadership, combining strong clinical expertise with experience of leading care services and supporting Registered Managers across multiple locations.
The clinical element is central to this role. You’ll lead safe, high-quality services across the North West, Cheshire, Stoke and Stafford, alongside a wider clinical remit across the organisation. If you're ready to take the next step in your leadership journey, we’re here to support you with purpose, passion, and people who truly care.
We’re proud to be different. Our team is built on Commitment, Compassion, and Collaboration — values that shape everything we do. When you join us, you become part of a community that leads with empathy and works together to achieve the best outcomes for the people we support.
What We’re Looking For
- A qualified Adult Nurse, Learning Disability Nurse or Mental Health Nurse with current professional registration
- Clinically credible, with strong nursing expertise alongside senior operational leadership experience
- Experienced in leading and managing care services and supporting Registered Managers across multiple locations
- Skilled in clinical governance, managing clinical risk and overseeing delegated healthcare tasks
- Experienced in developing and mobilising new services
- Confident in coaching operational teams, developing staff and driving service improvements
- Passionate about person‑centred care and positive outcomes
- A driver with access to their own vehicle, essential for travel between services
We welcome applications from nurses with leadership experience across different areas of the care sector; supported living experience is not essential.
Operational leadership experience alone, regardless of seniority, does not meet the requirements of this role without the required nursing qualification, current registration and credible clinical expertise.
A Day in the Life of a Head of Operations
You’ll oversee multiple services, supporting Registered Managers and operational teams to deliver exceptional care. Your day might include coaching managers, reviewing clinical risks and care plans, strengthening clinical governance, liaising with families and professionals, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
You’ll bring clinical oversight to delegated healthcare tasks, support the development and mobilisation of new services, and contribute your expertise across the wider organisation. You’ll lead by example, inspire confidence, and create a culture of continuous improvement, keeping the safety, wellbeing and individual needs of the people we support at the heart of every decision.
