Registered Manager -  New Adults Residential Service

• Base location: Stoke-on-Trent
• Hours: Full time, 40 hours per week
• Salary: £42,000 - £45,000 per annum

Imagine walking into a service before it even opens its doors, and knowing you're the one who's going to bring it to life.

That's exactly what we're offering. We're opening a brand-new residential service in Stoke-on-Trent, purpose-built to support up to 6 adults with learning disabilities, mental health needs, and EUPD,  and we need an exceptional Registered Manager to lead it from day one.

This isn't a service that's already running, with routines set and a team in place. This is a blank canvas. You'll be the one setting the tone, building the team, and making sure everything is ready before a single person moves in.

What makes this service different?

We've designed it with real intention,  including a bespoke sensory room and a genuinely high-quality therapeutic care structure. Every detail has been thought through to help the people we support build independence, connect with their community, and live fulfilled, meaningful lives.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

✅ Lead the setup and mobilisation of the service from the ground up
✅ Recruit and shape a brilliant, values-led team
✅ Get the service ready compliant, safe, and welcoming for individuals to move in
✅ Embed a therapeutic, person-centred model of care that actually makes a difference
✅ Build strong relationships with commissioners, families, and multidisciplinary teams
✅ Take full operational ownership as Registered Manager once the service is live

You'll need:

• Proven experience as a Registered Manager, wihtin Residential or Supported Living Settings (essential)
• A strong background supporting adults with learning disabilities, mental health needs, and/or EUPD
• Confidence leading a service mobilisation or new setup
• Solid knowledge of CQC standards, MCA, DoLS, and Safeguarding
