We are growing our team purposefully to meet the need for NHS autism and ADHD care, and since launching, we have: Grown our fantastic team to over 100 people, and are hiring 100 more over the next 12 months Raised £5m pre-seed funding from leading healthcare investors (Triple Point Ventures and Heal Capital), helping us to invest in our technology and our team Achieved financial sustainability How is Paloma Health different from other Neurodevelopmental providers? We are clinically-led, Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered, and continuously improve our outcomes and family experiences. Our in-house product & engineering team ensures we can: Give families a more consumer-like experience of healthcare Free our clinicians from documentation to focus on supporting families Our strong culture, including transparency, a sense of community, and supporting staff career development The experience of our founders (Dr Mark Jenkins & Darshak Shah), who have previously built tech-enabled NHS obesity and ophthalmology services. Combined, their previous companies have treated over 1 million NHS patients in the last 15 years! Being backed by leading healthcare investors allows us to move fast The Opportunity We are looking for a Head of Operations to lead and scale our operations function. This is a high-impact role where you will be responsible for a rapidly scaling operations function of 80 people, including our Care Delivery team (Team Managers, Autism and ADHD Clinicians, including assessors and prescribers), the Care Coordination administration team, and our Scheduling, Safeguarding, and Governance teams. Your mission is to ensure that as we scale to help thousands of families, our service remains high-quality, safe, and efficient. Your role is orchestrating this complex function, ensuring that every step of our care pathway-from the NHS referral to exit-is working in perfect sync. About you You are a leader of leaders: You have a proven track record of managing large, multi-tiered teams. You know how to motivate and develop managers who, in turn, manage our Delivery Team, Care Coordinators, Scheduling, Safeguarding and Governance Teams You thrive at scale: Managing a rapidly growing team of over 80 people doesn't intimidate you; you have the organisational skills to keep a large workforce aligned and productive, and are excited to grow the team significantly more. You are a systems thinker: You see how a change in scheduling impacts care delivery, and how an update in governance affects the Care Coordination Team. You manage the "ripple effects." You are operationally rigorous: You thrive on metrics and KPIs. You use data to identify capacity bottlenecks or potential safeguarding risks before they become issues. You are empathetic but decisive: You understand the high-stakes nature of healthcare and can make calm, authoritative decisions that balance patient safety with operational speed. You are adaptable: You are comfortable working in a dynamic environment and embrace the fast-paced change of a growing organisation. You are mission-driven: You are genuinely excited about using technology and innovation to solve the NHS waiting list crisis.

Responsibilities: Oversee the integrated Operations function, including: Providing strategic direction to the managers of Delivery, Scheduling & Capacity, Safeguarding, and Governance. Represent the Operations function at a senior level and work cross-functionally with relevant function leads. Maintain accountability for the function's performance and culture. This includes: Building relationships and data dashboards (with our Business Intelligence Team) to help you identify operational red flags and address them before they impact service delivery. Building a culture of continuous learning, mentoring your direct reports to become the next generation of senior leaders at Paloma. Ongoing optimisation and refinement of operational processes together with the relevant teams and stakeholders, for example: Administrative processes, e.g. NHS GP referral processing Defining the strategic "math" of the service, ensuring you always know the demand forecast and manage scheduling/hiring to meet NHS targets while maintaining staff well-being. Ensuring our safeguarding protocols are deeply embedded in every team member's daily workflows. Develop robust structures, documentation, processes and communication loops to: Grow the team without losing quality or culture. Ensure a 'single source of truth' for all operational workstreams documentation Maintain and implement high-quality policies for complaints, contested outcomes, and quality assurance. Qualifications and experience: Required: At least 7 years of operational leadership experience, specifically in environments with high headcount and complex delivery requirements (e.g., health or other large-scale service operations). Proven experience overseeing multi-tiered teams (managing 5+ direct reports who each manage their own large teams). Advanced experience in managing capacity and scheduling for a large, varied workforce. A track record of "productising" operations-taking a growing service and building the robust structures needed to support 100+ staff members. Demonstrable experience of a commercial mindset, meeting financial targets, understanding trade-offs within budgets, and managing team budgets. A proven ability to balance high-level strategy with a "lead from the front" mentality, diving into the details to solve problems on the ground. Proven experience in being data-driven with decisions, prioritisation, and comfortable providing detailed updates to wider stakeholders at all levels of the business. Experience managing a mixed team of clinical and non-clinical staff Experience leading a large team through periods of rapid organisational change, e.g. a fast-paced startup/scaleup environment where roles and processes evolve quickly. Experience in Data Protection and Data Protection Officer responsibilities Studies have shown that women and people from ethnic minority groups are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every qualification. Paloma is dedicated to building a diverse and top performing workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align with all the qualifications, we strongly encourage you to apply.

Ensuring the Need to Know principal is adhered to and sufficient controls are in place to manage the knowledge of the technical implementation, providing direction on the release of information to Suppliers and Customers, where required. Product Security Engineers are required to look at the design at multiple levels: from the Missile as a whole with its multitude of complex interfaces within a wider Weapon System, to the individual electronic components at a printed circuit card level. Such a breadth of influence over and interaction with the design affords the Product Security Engineer a rich and challenging working environment unparalleled elsewhere in the Systems Design Function. You will gain an intimate knowledge of the product functionality and interact with stakeholders across the business from the highly technical to the more commercial. A role in the Security Engineering Department is therefore dynamic and diverse in its activities and provides a real opportunity to be part of a technically complex and essential part of the product capability. What we're looking for from you: Able to listen to, evaluate and resolve technical issues in a manner that upholds MBDAs reputation with our Customer. Strong engineering skills where a background in Systems Engineering is essential and experience in electronics design and/or embedded software or firmware design is desirable.

Therefore, experience in working in the Security Engineering Domain, whilst beneficial is not essential. A successful candidate need only be a skilled Systems Engineer with an eye for detail and a willingness to learn. Some prior experience with electronics or software design is useful, but again not essential. Specifically, the role will involve: Task package management of activities utilising multi-disciplinary engineers spanning across the Engineering Directorate to design and deliver a comprehensive technical security solution within the budget and timescale set out for the task. Managing the trade-space to maximise the effectiveness of through life protective measures without compromising product safety or Customer winning capability. Preparing and maintaining a robust security case and working directly with the UK Customer and its technical advisors to agree sufficiency of solutions. Undertaking a wide range of systems design and technical leadership tasks, ensuring a coherent design is maintained across the contributing engineering departments (hardware, firmware, software) that can be integrated, tested and qualified to demonstrate the effectiveness of the security solution. Liaising with manufacturing and support teams to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the missile/weapon system is maintained through manufacture and in the various through life support scenarios that may be offered to a Customer. Ensuring the Need to Know principal is adhered to and sufficient controls are in place to manage the knowledge of the technical implementation, providing direction on the release of information to Suppliers and Customers, where required. Product Security Engineers are required to look at the design at multiple levels: from the Missile as a whole with its multitude of complex interfaces within a wider Weapon System, to the individual electronic components at a printed circuit card level. Such a breadth of influence over and interaction with the design affords the Product Security Engineer a rich and challenging working environment unparalleled elsewhere in the Systems Design Function. You will gain an intimate knowledge of the product functionality and interact with stakeholders across the business from the highly technical to the more commercial. A role in the Security Engineering Department is therefore dynamic and diverse in its activities and provides a real opportunity to be part of a technically complex and essential part of the product capability.
