Operations Manager
Operations Manager | Nursing Homes | Worcestershire | Up to £80,000 Most operations roles hand you a patch and a rulebook, then quietly remove any freedom to think for yourself. You inherit someone else's system, work inside someone else's straight-jacket, and spend your days feeding a head office that has already made the decisions. If that's what you're after, this isn't it. This is the number two seat in a well-established, family-owned nursing home group. The owner has spent twenty years building something he's proud of, and he's ready to hand full responsibility for care provision across the group to one person he can trust to run it. That person is genuinely in charge of the quality, the standards, and the direction of care. The autonomy here is real, not a line in a job spec. The group runs a portfolio of nursing homes mainly in the West Midlands, with a reputation built on genuinely warm, family-feel care rather than corporate box-ticking. The strategy isn't relentless acquisition; it's keeping the quality of care high and leading a group that already does things well. For the right person, there's room to grow into more over time. No promises, but the ceiling is high and the door isn't closed. The non-negotiables Operations experience across multiple nursing homes, or strong nursing home management experience and the appetite to step up into a group-level role A real understanding of how nursing homes run at this scale. You don't need to be a nurse, but you do need to talk the talk and know what good looks like The maturity to hit the ground running. This is an autonomous role and there's no appetite to hand-hold Warm and friendly by default. Curious by nature. Someone who is always turning over how things could be done better, even a little differently, and then actually makes it happen Living in the region, or comfortably close, and happy to be out among the homes. This role covers a real geographic patch, so location and a willingness to travel both matter If you've spent years inside a larger group wishing you had the freedom to lead your own way, this is that freedom. Apply with your CV, even if it isn't fully up to date, or call Tim Roby directly for a confidential conversation about the role. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. Sponsorship is not available for this position. Recruitment Panda Ltd is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy. We are committed to equal opportunities and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates regardless of race, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or age.

Helping to plan, build and coordinate high-performing marketing campaigns across channels such as Google Ads, Meta, email and SEO Bringing campaigns together by working with our specialist team, for example, briefing our content executive on shoots, our designer on the visuals, and our social and PPC teams on getting everything live for your campaigns. Digging into data and analytics to understand what's working and where we can continuously make things better for our clients. Helping construct clear client reports that turn the numbers into a story and actionable insights. Sitting in on client conversations and, over time, building your own valuable relationships with clients. Getting to understand each client's business, so when they hit a challenge, you can help work out how we can solve it. Researching markets, competitors and latest trends to keep our thinking sharp.

Training:Training will take place at our studio in Poringland, Norwich, during working hours. Depending on your existing experience, you'll work towards either the Level 3 Multi-Channel Marketer or the Level 4 Marketing Executive apprenticeship, both delivered by Cambridge Marketing College and both including AI marketing training. Training is delivered through structured online learning, including tutor-led webinars, online classes and a digital learning platform with study resources and progress tracking. You'll spend a minimum of 6 hours of your working week on off-the-job training. As all learning is delivered online, there is no need to travel to a college.Training Outcome:On successful completion of the apprenticeship, our goal is to develop you into a fully fledged Digital Marketing Executive, taking ownership of client accounts and running multi-channel campaigns independently. From there, the natural progression is towards a senior executive or account management role, coordinating larger campaigns and mentoring newer team members, and in time towards a strategic or managerial position as the agency grows.

We believe marketing should be clear, honest and effective. No jargon, no smoke and mirrors, no set-it-and-forget-it campaigns. Just thoughtful work that actually moves the needle. We started as a side hustle in 2019 and grew into a full-service agency by doing things differently. We listened, we showed up, we treated every client's business like it was our own. That approach hasn't changed. If anything, it's become more central to who we are. Our team is close-knit by design, and we believe in fairness.

Marketing Manager
Marketing ManagerManchesterBrand & Marketing teamEstablished PLCSalary depending on experience, plus performance bonusAIM Smarter is a community-driven technology platform for the promotional products industry. 2,300+ distributor members, brand partners, and modern merch sellers, all under one roof.AIM iQ is the platform underneath it, and it is AI-first: sourcing across a curated network in seconds rather than an afternoon, live inventory, mock-ups generated without waiting on a designer, artwork made print-ready automatically. It is a $28 billion industry served mostly by small, fiercely capable independent businesses. Most of them are still quoting from spreadsheets and chasing stock on the phone.We are growing. We need someone to own how that growth happens.What this role isThis is not a campaign delivery job. It is not a brand role. And it is not a job where someone else owns the number.There are two halves to it and they carry equal weight. The first is reach, the people we need to reach are not one audience. The new entrant solo owner-operator, the seasoned ten-person distributor with a sales floor, the rep inside a member business, the brand partner on the other side of the marketplace. Four different buyers, four different reasons to care, four different campaigns.The second is depth. The moment a distributor lands on the platform or in the network, looks around, and decides whether this changes how they work or becomes another tab or membership they never use.“Acquisition without adoption is a leaking bucket you keep paying to fill. Adoption without acquisition is a very good product too few people have found. This role owns both.”You will work closely with our Brand & Culture Strategist, who owns how AIM sounds and what we stand for. She sets the story. You decide how it reaches people, and whether it worked.What you would actually be doingBuilding and running the acquisition programme end to end through paid, organic, email, partner, events and community. Briefing it, building it, launching it, measuring it, and killing the parts that are not working. Segmenting properly, so that the sole trader and the ten-person distributor are not receiving the same message.Redesigning the journey from sign-up to first sourced product, first quote and first order, and instrumenting every step of it. Building the lifecycle and in-product programmes that drive feature adoption, extra seats, and the move from free to paid. Owning the engagement numbers and reporting them honestly, including in the months they go the wrong way.Turning what you learn from members into something the product team can act on, and turning what the Brand & Culture Strategist gives you into campaigns that land.The kind of person this is actually forYou have spent three or more years marketing a SaaS, platform or marketplace product, and you already think in funnels, cohorts, activation and churn. We are not going to teach you that.You have owned both halves — acquisition and engagement. This is not a role where you can be strong at one and passable at the other. We will test both, separately.You use AI in your own work every day, not occasionally. We will ask what is in your stack, what it replaced, and what you tried that did not work.You are fluent across a modern tech stack including Claude (or equivalent) and HubSpot.You have the temperament for a small, connected team. There are no layers here and nobody else to build the campaign for you. What you contribute to acquisition shows up in the community. What the brand team shapes shows up in your campaigns.You do not need a degree. You need evidence that you have moved a number, and the ability to show us how you did it.What AIM is likeIt is an in-person role because the work requires immersion. You learn by being inside the conversations, the decisions and the dynamics. The team is connected, and departments do not operate in silos here.This is an established company with real infrastructure and industry relationships, backed by a listed group. But it has huge goals, and it wants people with the drive to help shape that.Most of our members are in North America, so it’s not unusual to find yourself finishing later to overlap with them and our US team, and you would travel to industry events in the US and the UK a few times a year. Alongside the salary there is a performance bonus, split evenly between the acquisition and the engagement side of the job, and access to a technical team to build an AI-native marketing function properly.How to applySend your CV, but do not let it do all the talking. Alongside it, send us half a page or better still a short video on one campaign or programme you owned end to end. What you were trying to move, what you did, and what actually happened. Including the parts that did not work.We are far more interested in how you think than in a cover letter.AIM Smarter is based in Manchester. This role requires you to be Manchester-based and in the office. Remote applications will not be considered. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK; we are not able to offer visa sponsorship for this role.AIM Smarter is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applications from every background and are glad to make reasonable adjustments at any stage — just tell us what you need.
