Are you an experienced Registered Manager with a passion for person-centred care and improving the lives of the people we support?
We are looking for an exceptional leader to oversee two supported living homes in Ashtead and Surbiton, Surrey. You will lead a dedicated support team providing personalised support to the people we support who have autism, learning & physical disabilities, and complex health needs.
This is an opportunity to make a genuine difference by creating stable, safe and meaningful lives for the people we support, while leading a skilled and motivated team to deliver outstanding support every day.

Every person has their own goals, interests, strengths and aspirations. Your leadership will ensure they receive the right support at the right time from a confident and skilled team.
What you'll be doing
- Leading and managing two supported living homes
- Building therapeutic and trusting relationships with the people we support and their families
- Leading, motivating and developing a high-performing support team
- Ensuring colleagues receive effective training, coaching and support
- Promoting positive risk-taking and meaningful opportunities for independence
- Ensuring services are fully compliant with regulatory requirements and best practice guidance
- Managing quality assurance, audits, safeguarding and health and safety processes
- Working collaboratively with families, commissioners, healthcare professionals and other stakeholders
- Maintaining occupancy, budgets and service performance
What you'll need
- Previous experience as a Registered Manager, Deputy Manager or Service Manager within supported living or specialist social care services
- Proven ability to lead, motivate and develop teams
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Experience supporting people with autism, learning disabilities and complex needs
- Understanding of trauma-informed practice and person-centred support
- Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care, or equivalent, or willingness to work towards this qualification
- Knowledge of national policy and best practice relating to learning disabilities and autism
- Strong understanding of regulatory requirements and quality standards
- Up-to-date knowledge of safeguarding and health and safety legislation
- A full UK manual driving licence
- The legal right to live and work in the UK
