The role

Control Room Team Leader / Supervisor

What you'll do

You'll lead from the front - operationally and behaviourally.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Supervising and supporting a team of Controllers across day and night shifts

  • Monitoring live staffing, attendance, welfare checks, and incident response

  • Ensuring duress activations and escalations are handled correctly and promptly

  • Overseeing workload distribution during peak periods

  • Maintaining exceptional accuracy in reporting and incident logging

  • Leading structured handovers between shifts

  • Coaching team members to improve performance and confidence

  • Identifying process improvements and driving standards upward

  • Acting as the first point of escalation before matters move to senior management

This is a role for someone who can spin multiple plates without dropping standards.

This Is More Than a Senior Controller Role

We're looking for someone ready to step into leadership.

Not someone who just wants to "do the job" - but someone who wants to own it, improve it, and progress from it.

As a Control Room Team Leader, you'll oversee a team of Control Room Administrators operating 24/7, ensuring our National Operations Centre runs smoothly, professionally, and to the highest standard.

This is an entry-point management role for someone ambitious, proactive, and capable of multitasking at a high level in a fast-paced operational environment.

The Type of Person We're Looking For

You might already be:

  • A senior controller ready for leadership

  • A shift lead in operations, logistics, or monitoring

  • A high-performing administrator who naturally takes ownership

  • An aspiring manager looking for their first formal leadership role

But you must be:

✔ Proactive - you spot problems before they become issues
✔ Highly organised - accuracy is non-negotiable
✔ Confident making decisions under pressure
✔ Comfortable managing performance and having honest conversations
✔ Strong across multiple systems at once
✔ Able to remain calm when everything happens at the same time

This role requires resilience, pace, and professionalism.

Why Join Us?

Because this is where control meets leadership.

The National Operations Centre supports thousands of colleagues across the UK. When something goes wrong - we fix it. When someone doesn't arrive on site - we act. When welfare checks are missed - we intervene.

And as Team Leader, you'll ensure your team does that flawlessly.

Our success is built on quality people - and we're serious about developing future managers. If you want a structured pathway into operational management within a national business, this is your opportunity.
