Working hours: 37.5 hours per week (including some weekends and evenings)
Contract: 2 years (including conversion to Operational Centre Manager in Year 2, depending on performance and mutual agreement)
Start Date: May 2024 (or as soon after as possible)
Probation Period: 3-months
Salary: £35,000 per annum
Benefits: Enrolment into contributory company pension scheme
Place of work: Brora
Annual Leave: 20 days, plus 9 public holidays
Reports to: Clyne Heritage Society Board
Responsible for the management of: Operational staff and operational volunteers, when preparing for, and during the operational phase.
Role Description
This key, lifestyle-changing role will require an experienced, highly motivated, strategic, and creative thinker, with excellent communication skills, energy and the ability to inspire and engage. Applicants should be highly organised, with visionary business planning skills and a proven history in successfully developing and delivering an Operational Readiness Plan for a new visitor attraction and/or community heritage business. If selected for interview, applicants will be expected to give a short presentation of a case study of this.
This is a unique opportunity to bring your experience and skills to an exciting new heritage project from the outset. You will plan and prepare for, implement, and ensure the successful delivery of a sustainable business operation under the brand ‘Brora Heritage’, operating from a newly redeveloped Old Clyne School (see Appendix 1). If mutually agreeable, the job will then change to manage the operational phase, with the Board’s desire for the post to become a permanent staff position beyond the initial two years, in principle.
Working closely with the project’s design team and architect, you will plan in detail for the fit out of the completed building and be responsible for procurement of all items necessary to be fully operational from when the doors are open to the public. You will also plan for ensuring that all operational policies and procedures are in place and be responsible for recruitment of operational staff.
You will be expected to work strategically with other organisations to develop partnerships and play a lead role within the operational team.
Requirements
You will have:
• a minimum five years managerial business experience in a customer focussed role with evidence of development and progression,
• experience of delivering an Operational Readiness Plan for a business,
• experience of managing resources to time and to budget,
· A formal qualification in business management or proven experience.
