Join us on our journey to empower over a million people to change their behaviours and thrive!

At Thrive Tribe we deliver award-winning healthy lifestyle and wellbeing programmes that make people happier and healthier! It’s a really exciting time to join us as we begin to deliver the Heathier You NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme throughout Peterborough and Cambridgeshire, and we’re looking for an inspirational and motivated Service Manager to lead the team!

The National Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP) is designed to support individuals make long term behavioural change in order to help halt or reverse the progression of Type 2 Diabetes over a nine-month period. As Service Manager, you will be responsible for managing and supporting a small, talented team of Health Coaches and Marketing Officers to ensure we deliver the best care to our clients.

Like all roles at Thrive Tribe, you can expect your time at work to be fun, varied and challenging. We don’t like to stick to a firm JD as we know from experience that things change throughout the lifetime of a role and it gives our people the chance to play to their strengths.

A typical day as a Service Manager might include :

• Providing top quality strategical and operational leadership, working with key partners to achieve contractual KPI’s
• Developing and managing relationships within your team, stakeholders, commissioners, and clients in line with the organisation’s culture and values
• Ensuring that programme delivery maintains the highest standards in respect of quality, health and safety, internal governance, data security, safeguarding and clinical standards
• Coaching and supporting your team to reach excellent performance, enabling the NDPP Quality Assurance framework criteria to be achieved
• Effectively managing sub-contracted parts of the services, and the processes that underpin successful partnership working
• Managing your service budget to ensure all profit and loss expectations are met and recorded
• Working collaboratively with the Thrive Tribe Central Team, to ensure the delivery of an outstanding contract at all times.
• Ensuring that all reporting and performance data is provided to the NHS on time, and exceeding the expectations of our commissioners
• Contributing to the success of Thrive Tribe by working with colleagues across all of our services on new projects and service developments – we’re always looking to share knowledge and resources!

About you...

More than anything, we are looking for a team player who puts their heart in to their work. We’ve got some core values that run through everything we do, and we’d love it if they resonate with you too!

Be the change

You like helping people. You’ll be working with those who need help the most, empowering them to make positive changes to thrive.

Be effective

You’re a natural leader, patient and calm under pressure. You have a great attitude and excellent communication skills, inspiring team members to deliver exceptional outcomes.

Be happy

You recognise the power of a smile. You value a fun, supportive workplace and want to come to work raring to go (check out our rating on Glassdoor).

Be successful

You are motivated and driven. Happy working solo or as part of a team, you love meeting targets and can demonstrate a proven track record of managing programmes or services that meet commissioner expectations.

Be big-hearted

You want to make a difference. Working with a like-minded team of optimistic people, we want the same thing to do meaningful work and change lives.

To work with us in this role you will need to have some experience of leading a team of healthcare professionals and/or knowledge of how health services are organised and delivered. You will be confident having difficult conversations around performance management, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment all whilst maintaining a flexible and supportive approach to leading the programme. Knowledge of complaints management, managing a budget and a qualification in a health promotion related subject (such as nutrition, exercise, or health coaching) is a bonus!

However, we hire based on attitude over traditional skills and experience so if feel you are right for the job we would love to hear from you!

Perks...

Every person makes Thrive Tribe the incredible place it is to work and play together, we’re unstoppable. Within our buzzing environment our talented people work hard but we ensure lots of fun is thrown in too! We offer you;
