Operations Manager

What you'll bring to the team

We are currently recruiting for an Operations Manager to join our team at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Gweek. This is a fantastic opportunity for an aspiring manager to become part of the Senior Management team at this truly beautiful sanctuary!

You will work very closely with the General Manager and help run all aspects of the business and the team on a day-to-day basis to deliver a memorable visitor experience and achieve financial targets in the commercial areas. You will ensure that the presentation of the site meets the quality standards set and that the entertainment provided is of a high quality.

In addition, you’ll be responsible for recruitment, training and tasked with providing clear direction for the teams. This position will include full duty management responsibilities and therefore a responsible approach to supervision is required. You’ll also take ownership of any obstacles to the smooth running of the sanctuary and follow through to resolution.

This role is a permanent, full-time role and given the 7-day nature of the visitor attraction, there will be regular weekend and bank holiday working on a roster basis, so you’ll need to be flexible with regards to working days and hours.
