Job Description:

Registered Manager - Learning Disabilities & Autism
Leicester · £55,000-£60,000 + benefits

The best support doesn't happen in a care plan. It happens in the small, daily moments where someone is genuinely seen. If that's the kind of service you want to lead, this one's worth a look.

It's a specialist provider supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism, looking for a Registered Manager who leads with more than a checklist. You'll take the registration and day-to-day running of a residential service, but the real job is bigger than that: building a team culture where people are supported to live the life they choose, with dignity and independence at the centre of it.

If your experience spans both residential and supported living within this field, even better. It's an organisation that works across both, so a manager who understands how each model ticks, and how good support looks in either, will feel right at home and have room to grow.

You'll have the autonomy to run the service properly, backed by an organisation that's growing and takes its recruitment seriously enough to invest in getting this hire right. It's a place to put your stamp on something and stay, not a stopgap.

The non-negotiables

• Experience as a Registered Manager, or a senior deputy ready to step up, in adult social care
• A genuine background supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism, or behaviours that challenge, across residential and/or supported living
• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health & Social Care, or well on the way
• Sound on safeguarding, CQC regulations and the Mental Capacity Act
• The kind of leadership that builds a steady, motivated team rather than a revolving door

What's on the table

• £55,000-£60,000 depending on experience, plus performance bonus
• Real autonomy to lead the service your way
• Genuine career growth as the organisation expands
• Blue Light Card, pension, EAP and free parking
• Monday to Friday core hours, with the flexibility the role needs

Send your CV, even if it's not bang up to date, or call for a confidential, no-pressure conversation. Everything is handled in complete confidence.
