Could you be the driving force behind operational excellence, stakeholder collaboration, and future-proofing support services across the agency?
If so, we would love to hear from you!
APHA is a brilliant place to work where our people feel valued, have a voice and can be their authentic selves. We value difference and diversity, because it helps us be more innovative and make better decisions.
We are dedicated to being an inclusive employer, offering equitable opportunities for all individuals. Our goal is to build a diverse workforce, and we hope to attract applications from all backgrounds and underrepresented groups.
We are looking for a confident Operational Business Manager to lead a small but impactful team supporting the Service Delivery and Strategy Planning & Innovation Directorates.
This varied leadership role spans high-level secretariat support, management of agency-wide distribution lists, specialist pay allowances, and Fraud and Error returns. You’ll be the go-to expert for SharePoint Online across multiple sites, coordinate Extra-Mural Studies (EMS) placements for veterinary students, and collaborate with the National Training Budget team to deliver training, conferences, and events.
During outbreaks, your team plays a critical role in communications—supporting key meetings and managing the Infected Premise (IP) data entry cell to ensure fast, accurate information flow.
The role offers location flexibility across APHA sites, with a bi-monthly leadership presence required at the Preston office and occasional travel elsewhere.
If you’re a proactive leader who thrives on variety, collaboration, and meaningful impact—this is your opportunity to shape the future of Support Services at APHA.
The successful candidate will:
Inspire and Empower: Lead by example, fostering a collaborative team culture where diverse perspectives are valued and everyone contributes meaningfully.
- Drive Performance and Manage Resources: Set clear goals and manage performance to deliver high quality outcomes whilst prioritising, allocating work, and managing resources effectively
Agency-Wide Collaboration: Partner with peers and managers across APHA to ensure consistency, share best practices, and embed continuous improvement.
Business Planning and Budget Oversight: Shape and implement business plans, operate within budget constraints, and work closely with the Operational Budget Manager to maximise value for money.
Operational Excellence: Standardise administrative processes and lead business continuity planning, including coordination of returns and exercises for the Business Management Group.
Risk Management: Coordinate risk registers for Service Delivery and Strategy, Planning and Innovation, and collaborate with the Defra Audit, Risk, and Assurance Manager to ensure robust risk management.
Outbreak Resilience: Maintain a highly trained, outbreak-ready team to support IP Data Entry and Internal Communications during disease response scenarios.
Information Governance: Act as Information Asset Owner for key SharePoint sites, ensuring data integrity, security, and compliance.
Future-Proofing and Succession Planning: Champion succession planning and proactively develop innovative solutions to meet emerging challenges.
