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.

Housing & Support Worker (Move-On)
Oxford
Part-time – 22.5 hours per week
£19,539 per annum (£32,565 FTE)
Fixed Term – 12 Months
Help people make homelessness history.
Most homelessness services help people through a crisis.
This role helps people build a future.
We are recruiting for an experienced Housing & Support Worker to join an ambitious homelessness charity at an exciting time as it launches a brand-new Move-On Housing service.
You will support people who have already overcome significant barriers and are ready for the next stage of their journey, moving into employment, independent living and a place they can truly call home.
This is an opportunity to do more than provide support. You will help people sustain tenancies, develop life skills, grow in confidence and create lasting independence, while helping shape an innovative service from the very beginning.
The Role
You will manage two newly redeveloped Move-On houses providing accommodation for up to eight residents, supporting them as they prepare for independent living. Alongside this, you will provide floating support to former residents who have already moved into their own homes, helping them maintain their tenancy and reduce the risk of returning to homelessness.
This is a varied role combining housing management, tenancy sustainment and person-centred support. From carrying out support sessions and risk assessments to managing rents, maintaining property standards and helping residents access long-term accommodation, no two days will be the same. You will also play a key role in developing the policies, procedures and best practice that will shape this new service for years to come.
About You
You will already have experience working within supported housing, homelessness services or floating support and understand what it takes to help people with complex needs achieve lasting independence.
We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with experience of:
Supported housing, homelessness or Move-On services.
Floating support or tenancy sustainment.
Housing management, including rent collection, arrears or property management.
Supporting people with complex needs, including those who have experienced homelessness.
Helping people access welfare benefits, housing options and independent living.
Building positive relationships while maintaining professional boundaries and encouraging personal responsibility.
A full UK driving licence and the ability to travel across Oxfordshire would be an advantage, as you will be supporting people in both the Move-On properties and within the wider community.
Why Join Us?
This is more than a job.
You will join a charity that believes everyone deserves the opportunity to rebuild their life through meaningful work, stable housing and the right support. Every day you will see the difference your work makes as people gain confidence, sustain employment, secure their own home and take the final steps towards lasting independence.
If you are passionate about homelessness, housing and helping people achieve long-term change, we would love to hear from you.
Apply today and help people take the final step from homelessness to home.

Regulatory Affairs Specialist – Medical Devices - Cambridge
A growing technology and product development organisation in Cambridge is looking to appoint a Regulatory Affairs Specialist to support a wide range of innovative projects. This role sits within a team that works closely with engineers, scientists and designers, helping them bring complex ideas to life while ensuring that every development pathway aligns with global regulatory expectations. The work is varied, fast‑moving and highly collaborative, giving you the chance to contribute to breakthrough technologies across both medical and non‑medical sectors.
You will be joining a quality and regulatory function that plays a central role in maintaining and improving the company’s management systems. Rather than simply reviewing documents, this team is embedded in project activity, offering practical guidance that shapes product development from the earliest stages. Their work ensures that internal processes remain compliant with international standards and that clients receive the assurance they expect from a world‑class development partner.
In this position, you will provide regulatory support across the business, working with multidisciplinary teams and assisting senior members of the QA/RA group with the ongoing operation of the quality management system. The role offers exposure to a wide range of market areas, giving you the opportunity to broaden your regulatory knowledge and deepen your experience across multiple industries. You will be expected to apply your understanding of standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR 820, helping teams navigate compliance requirements while still enabling innovation.
A key part of your work will involve monitoring changes in international regulations and standards, interpreting what they mean for the organisation, and communicating updates to colleagues. You will contribute to internal improvement initiatives, support external audit activities, and help ensure that quality and regulatory processes remain robust, efficient and aligned with business needs. This role requires someone who can balance the freedom needed for creative problem‑solving with the discipline required for regulated product development, finding pragmatic solutions that work in real‑world commercial environments.
To succeed, you will need to be a clear thinker who can work independently while supporting and enabling others. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will be building relationships across a wide range of stakeholders and taking ownership of initiatives that improve the way the business operates. You should be able to demonstrate experience in developing or contributing to regulatory strategies, interpreting regulatory requirements, and understanding the implications for downstream processes. Knowledge of medical device compliance will be particularly valuable.
It is expected that you will hold a relevant degree that has supported your move into a Regulatory Affairs position within the medical devices sector. It will also be important that you have contributed to a medical device that has progressed from early development through to commercial release, giving you a clear understanding of the full lifecycle and the regulatory considerations at each stage.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a forward‑thinking organisation where you can develop your expertise, contribute to meaningful innovation and play a key role in shaping how new technologies reach the market.
If you have regulatory affairs experience and are looking for a challenging and rewarding role within a growing organisation, then apply now. I expect strong interest in this position, and the company is looking to move quickly, so I would recommend submitting your application immediately or risk missing out.

BFT is a mast climber family business that began as a scaffolding company back in 1997. This helped create the name: BFT standing for Boards, Fittings and Tubes.

The second they realised the speed and savings benefits over scaffolding, they knew this was the future and that they were the ones to lead it. For more than ten years, they've been proving the commercial benefits of Mast Climbing Work Platforms (MCWPs) to public and private sites across the UK.
