Job Title: General Manager
Contract Type: 6 to 12-month fixed term appointment
Salary: Circa £60,000 – Up to 37 hours per week
Location : Nene Valley Crematorium
Closing date : Sunday 26 January 2025
North Northamptonshires Nene Valley Crematorium at Wellingborough, is a modern, yet established business, wholly owned by the council but operates independently. The Board of Directors are looking to recruit a suitably experienced Chief Operating Officer to caretake the business and the excellent team in place during a period of change, who will be available to also assist the Operations Director and wider board members with a service review that encompasses the council’s wider bereavement care services offering for North Northamptonshire.
Directors expect the chief operating officer to provide the team with advice, guidance, and support throughout the review, which is being approached via phases during the next 12 months, from fact finding, to working closely with a consultant to implementation stage during the autumn.
The chief operating officer will report to the crematorium board and will therefore need to be available to attend board meetings, (generally via Teams) which are held once every quarter. Working hours are flexible during crematorium opening hours to include some working from home, but must meet the needs of the company.
