The Role
We are looking for a dedicated Registered Manager for our supported living services in the Northamptonshire.

As the Registered Manager, you will be legally responsible for ensuring compliance with the Health and Social Care Act and Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulations. Your role will be crucial in driving service excellence, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and maintaining high governance standards to achieve outstanding CQC ratings.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead and coach teams to deliver high-quality, person-centred care, ensuring compliance with CQC regulations and governance standards.
- Promote a positive, engaging, and service-user-focused culture across all services.
- Ensure effective, consistent, and efficient care delivery, driving service improvements and maintaining high governance standards.

About You:
We are seeking an experienced leader with NVQ level 5 in Management (or equivalent) with a strong track record in managing services regulated by CQC and driving high-quality governance standards. You will be passionate about delivering excellent person-centred care and committed to achieving a CQC rating of ‘Good’ or above.
You will have significant experience in inspiring, empowering, and developing both clinical and non-clinical teams. It is desirable that you have experience working within Learning Disability or deaf services and have the drive to further develop our services in this area. You will thrive in a role that challenges you to lead change, maintain regulatory compliance, and deliver outstanding care. It would also be advantageous for the individual to be BSL trained although not essential and we would welcome applications from the deaf community who have the right level of management experience and qualifications as well as drive to improve services too.
You will be a strong, compassionate leader who exemplifies our charity’s CARE values: Compassion, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence
