A key member of the Contingency Management Team, the Field Operations Manager is responsible for providing hotel management and service user support services via their team of Contingency Support Officers, Housing Officers, and Supervisors within the designated portfolio to ensure compliant delivery of the Serco AASC contract.
This role is field-based, working from an appointed geographical Field Office Location (FOL). The area of responsibility will generally be in the vicinity of the FOL; however, there may be occasions where coverage of a different area within the region is required, or attendance on a different site is needed. The Contingency portfolio may require visits to additional geographical areas.
All mileage incurred during the course of the working day is calculated as commercial; however, the commute to and from home to the FOL is at the employee's expense.
As a key member of the Operations Management Team, you will be responsible for ensuring:
* Compliance with the AASC contract, company policies, processes, and procedures for their designated area of responsibility, through their management of staff and liaising with other teams within the business, landlords, sub-contractors, external agencies, and partners.
* All hotels within their allocated area of the hotel portfolio are safe, habitable, fit for purpose, and fully equipped in accordance with contract standards both national and local, while also ensuring regulatory and legislative requirements are met.
* The provision of all necessary service user dispersal, relocation, ongoing support services, and discontinuation activities within their designated portfolio is delivered in accordance with the contract and that all service users maintain compliance with the conditions of their support provision.
Achievement of all agreed performance targets relating to the provision of all hotels, service user, and reporting activities involved in the above within their designated portfolio.
This is a crucial role, providing clear management to Contingency Support Officers, Housing Officers, and Supervisors in their provision of service user services and hotel maintenance services.
The role will provide accountability to the Head of Contingency for all accommodation service user support activities and hotel maintenance services within the respective region; provide leadership and strategic direction to the Contingency Support Officers, Housing Officers, and Maintenance Operatives within their allocated portfolio; and work with the other Management Team members to deliver outstanding and effective service.
What you'll need to do the role
First and foremost, you will have proven people management skills and the ability to analyse data and produce accurate timely reports. A background in managing multi-skilled maintenance operatives, delivering against key performance indicators, working to tight deadlines, and within set budgets would also be beneficial.
