Pauls Place – Head of Operations

* Yate, Bristol, BS37 8YS

* Salary upto £38,250 + pension

* Closing date: Midnight, Wednesday 12th November 2025

Moon Exec Search is proud to be partnering, once again, with Paul’s Place, a charity that’s been enhancing life for disabled adults for nearly 30 years. Following their move to a newly repurposed and fully accessible Hub in Yate, they’re entering an exciting phase of growth, and we’re now supporting them in the search for a Head of Operations.

This leadership role will oversee Paul’s Place’s Day Opportunities services teams and service delivery, including day sessions, short breaks, and outreach programmes. It’s a hands-on leadership role, managing a multidisciplinary team and ensuring members (service users) receive high-quality, person-centred support. You’ll also lead in developing new services, including those for individuals with Learning Disabilities and/or Autism, and contribute to strategic planning and organisational development.

We’re looking for candidates with:

* Significant experience in social care, including team leadership and service development

* A strong understanding of safeguarding, health & safety, and practice leadership

* A passion for inclusion, empowerment, and human-rights-based care

* A collaborative, caring, and proactive approach

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a values-led organisation that’s small in size but mighty in ambition.

Paul’s Place has retained Moon Exec Search to manage this campaign and cannot accept CVs from third-party agencies. All applications will be forwarded directly to Moon Exec Search for consideration.
