Dimensions are proud to be one of very few social care organisations that are accredited by the Great Places To Work programme in 2024, our 6th year in a row!
A fantastic new opportunity has arisen to Join Dimensions and be part of our senior leadership team as an Operations Director in North Central. This is an exciting time to join the North Regional Management Team as we expand our operations in response to significant growth in this area.
You will take on direct line management responsibilities for our North Central Locality managers, who are registered with CQC.
Whilst the position is home based, there is an expectation that the Operations Director will regularly visit the homes and be there for their teams as and when required, with a keen focus on the development of quality and practice through great leadership.Your area will cover Barnsley, Leeds, East Riding, Redcar & Cleveland, and Middlesbrough.
As Dimensions is part of a National Organisation, there will be a requirement for the post holder to attend occasional meetings outside of the region, but these will be limited to supporting personal and professional development and to connectivity with peers and access to a wider support network.
