Operations Manager

Complex care and supported living

Affinity Trust supports over 900 adults with learning disabilities across England and Scotland. The belief that everyone with a learning disability has the right to an active and fulfilling life is at the core of their approach.

As a result, they enable 64% of the people they support to live in supported living, over four times the national average, thanks to their emphasis on "positive risk-taking", in-depth training for staff and use of person-centred assistive technologies.

Delivering all of that across eight divisions and more than 2000 staff requires operational excellence, and that's where Tammie comes in. She is a prominent champion of technology adoption and is playing a key role in implementing a new e-rostering system to streamline the way shifts are assigned and hours are recorded, verified and reported.
