Job Description

Registered Manager – Learning Disabilities

Manchester | £35,000 – £40,000

A good service, a supportive team and the opportunity to make it your own.

Not every Registered Manager role needs to start with a service in difficulty.

We're looking for a Registered Manager to lead a small, established residential service in Manchester, supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs.

The service has a Good CQC rating, a committed team and a provider that genuinely values quality care. You'll have supportive, accessible senior leaders around you, with the opportunity to build on what's already working well and continue making a difference to the people who live there.

This could suit an experienced Registered Manager looking for a positive change, or a confident, experienced Deputy Manager who is ready to take the next step in their career.

The role

You'll be responsible for the day-to-day running of the service, leading your team and ensuring people receive safe, high-quality, person-centred support.

You'll be trusted to lead, develop your team and maintain the standards that have already been achieved, with support from senior management when you need it.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading, supporting and developing the care team.
• Maintaining high standards of person-centred care and support.
• Ensuring the service remains compliant with CQC requirements and safeguarding responsibilities.
• Overseeing care plans, risk assessments, audits and quality assurance.
• Building positive relationships with families, professionals and external agencies.
• Promoting a positive culture for both the people supported and the staff team.

What we're looking for:

You'll have experience within residential care for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism, alongside the leadership skills and values needed to run a quality service.

You may already be a Registered Manager, or you could be an experienced Deputy who is ready to take on their first Registered Manager position.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Experience leading or supporting a residential care service.
• A good understanding of CQC requirements, safeguarding and quality standards.
• Experience supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism and/or complex needs.
• Strong people management, organisation and communication skills.
• A Level 5 qualification in Health and Social Care, or be working towards one.
• A practical, approachable leadership style and a genuine commitment to good care.

What's on offer?

• £35,000–£40,000 salary
• An established service rated Good by CQC.
• A supportive provider with accessible senior leadership.
• A committed team and the opportunity to build on existing good practice.
• Generous annual leave and additional benefits.
• Ongoing training, development and opportunities to progress.
