Registered Manager – Small, Specialist Residential Service | Weston-super-Mare | Up to £42,000 + Comprehensive Benefits
With social care services making daily headlines—from chronic staff shortages to calls for reform—this role flips the script. You’re not stepping into crisis. You’re stepping into stability, values, and vision.
This is a rare opportunity to lead a high-quality, small-scale residential home with fewer than 10 beds—where care feels personal, purposeful, and deeply human.
This service is rated “Good” by CQC, with a track record of truly person-centred support. You’ll be working alongside a team grounded in positive behavioural support, clinical psychology, and least-restrictive practices. There’s a shared philosophy here—one that champions dignity, independence, and empowerment.
The home is beautifully presented with modern therapeutic spaces including sensory rooms, communal kitchens, and access to outdoor areas. It’s a space where people don’t just live—they grow.
Here’s what makes this job not like the others:
A tight-knit, invested team – many already studying for Level 5 qualifications with support from partnered colleges.
6 weeks' paid holiday + up to 5 extra days – because your wellbeing matters too.
Robust CPD and clinical support – ideal if you want to progress toward senior leadership.
Ethically led by clinicians, not spreadsheets – decisions here are based on people, not profit.
A real voice in shaping services – no corporate red tape, just space to do what’s right.
✅ You’ll Need To Have:
Experience working with people with learning disabilities, autism, and/or mental health needs
A Level 5 NVQ / RMA, or be working toward it
Proven management skills and a spark for leadership
Confidence in networking and marketing – this role gives you freedom to grow your team and your reach
If you’re a Registered Manager who wants more than just a job title—who wants to lead with compassion, strategy, and integrity—this is your moment.
