This is a rare opportunity to take ownership from day one, shape the culture, and build a service that makes a real difference.

The Role:

As the Registered Service Manager, you will provide strong leadership, clear compliance oversight and a child-centred approach to delivery. 

You will play a key part in setting up the service, supporting registration, and creating a safe, stable and aspirational environment for young people preparing for adulthood and independent living.

Shift Pattern:

• Monday to Friday, with flexibility to meet the needs of the service.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the day-to-day running of the supported accommodation service.

• Ensure compliance with the Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023 and Supported Accommodation Quality Standards.

• Recruit, induct, supervise and develop a high-performing team.

• Keep safeguarding at the centre of all decision-making.

• Carry out audits, quality checks and continuous improvement activity.

• Monitor incidents, complaints, safeguarding concerns and outcomes.

• Strong understanding of safeguarding, compliance and quality assurance.

• Confident leadership and team development skills.

• Knowledge of trauma-informed and child-centred practice.

• Ability to work proactively, calmly and professionally under pressure.

• Commitment to improving outcomes for vulnerable young people.

What We Offer:

• A rare opportunity to build and shape a new service from the start.
