The role
At Ability Consultants, we specialise in supporting charities, community groups, schools, social enterprises, CICs, and private sector organisations to thrive. From bid writing and fundraising strategies to senior management cover and event delivery, our team makes a measurable difference every day. Now, we’re looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Operations Manager to help us grow our impact even further.
In this role, you’ll oversee the smooth running of our day-to-day operations, manage client accounts, and support a brilliant team of consultants and bid writers. You’ll be the go-to person for keeping projects on track, ensuring clients receive the high-quality service we’re known for, and driving improvements in how we work.
You might already have proven experience in operations management - or you may be looking for your next adventure and opportunity to step up with the right skills to make a difference. Either way, you’ll be someone who thrives on organisation, enjoys building strong relationships, and can balance big-picture thinking with attention to detail.
In return, you’ll be part of a supportive, ambitious team that celebrates success together and puts people first. If you’re ready to use your skills to empower non-profits to achieve more in fundraising, income generation, and beyond, we’d love to hear from you.
