Service Manager

Hestia • Full-time • England, Greater London • £38.56k / year • 2w ago

At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a Service Manager to play a pivotal role in our Waltham Forest MCHA service.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

You will be providing day‑to‑day operational leadership to ensure the service runs safely, smoothly and in line with organisational values, while supporting, supervising and developing staff to maintain a positive, recovery‑focused culture. You will oversee risk management, safeguarding practice and quality assurance, using data and feedback to drive continuous improvement. You will coordinate partnership working, promote trauma‑informed and empowering environments, and manage resources, rotas and compliance with policies, procedures and regulatory standards. You will represent the service in external forums, support co‑production, maintain accurate reporting, and work with senior management on strategic development, underpinned by a strong understanding of equality and diversity legislation.

What do I need to bring with me?

You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires as well as match our values and mission. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. We also value lived experience of the areas we support, so if you feel comfortable, please do mention this on your application.

You will be bringing experience of managing services or teams in mental health, social care, crisis support or similar community settings, with a strong understanding of mental‑health crisis work, trauma‑informed practice, recovery principles and co‑production. You will be confident overseeing risk management, safeguarding and safe decision‑making, while building effective partnerships with statutory and voluntary agencies. You will lead and motivate staff, manage resources and rotas, analyse information to drive improvement, and remain calm and solution‑focused in complex situations. You will maintain accurate records, uphold ethical and person‑centred practice, demonstrate inclusive and resilient leadership, work flexibly across sites and use IT systems confidently.
