Vacancy: Operations Director

Nov 19, 2021

This is a busy and challenging time for the Voluntary Community and Faith (VCF) Sector in Doncaster. Voluntary Action Doncaster is a relatively new Cooperative organisation that will provide a strong voice, infrastructure support and a point of access for commissioning and partnership working to a diverse group of organisations serving the needs of local residents. We are looking for an Operations Director to be instrumental in its success.  

We are looking for a dynamic individual that can work effectively with stakeholders from all sectors to maximise opportunities and help its members achieve their full potential.  The postholder will work with a Board of Directors elected from the VCF sector in Doncaster; chosen for their skills, knowledge and experience.  They will provide vital strategic support and direction.

This is a unique opportunity to support the development and growth of the organisation to provide a cohesive platform from which the sector can thrive. 

This would be perfect for an experienced manager or leader who understands the voluntary sector.  

More details can be found in the Recruitment Pack

Closing date: 12pm on Friday 10 December 2021.  Interviews will be held via Zoom on 20th or 21st of December 2021
