An opportunity to build a service that genuinely reflects your values and leadership style.

Imagine stepping into a Registered Manager position where you're not inheriting someone else's team, culture or way of doing things.

Instead, you're given the opportunity to build something from the ground up, recruit and develop your own staff team, shape how the service operates and create an environment where both the people supported and your team can thrive.

We're working with a growing care provider that's preparing to open a brand-new residential service in Wolverhampton, supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs.

They're looking for an experienced and passionate Registered Manager who wants more than simply overseeing the day-to-day running of a service. They want someone who can take ownership, bring fresh ideas and play a genuine part in shaping its future.

And importantly, you won't be expected to do it all on your own.

The chance to make the service your own

You'll be involved from the very beginning, helping to shape the service, recruit your team, establish the right processes and create a positive culture that reflects your approach to care and leadership.

Genuine autonomy to lead

This is an opportunity for a manager who enjoys taking ownership, making decisions and introducing ideas that improve the quality of support. You'll have the freedom to lead the service in your own way, with the backing of an experienced leadership team.

Support and training before opening

Rather than being handed the keys to a new service and expected to get on with it, you'll join the provider ahead of opening.

You'll have time to complete training, understand the organisation's systems, get to know the wider team and build relationships with the people who'll be supporting you.

The aim is to make sure you're confident, prepared and properly supported before the service welcomes its first residents.

Build and develop your own team

You'll play a key role in recruiting the right people, developing their skills and creating a team culture built around person-centred care, consistency and positive outcomes.

Be part of a growing organisation

The provider is continuing to develop new services, creating opportunities for managers who want to grow professionally and play a bigger part in the organisation's future.
