Lifeways is one of the UK’s leading providers of specialist support for people with learning disabilities, autism, brain injuries, mental health conditions, and complex care needs.

We’ve recently completed one of the biggest digital transformations in our sector — and we’re just getting started. From Property to PBS, our ambition is bold: to become the Care Provider of Choice, powered by innovation, stability and the belief that great care starts with great people.

The Opportunity

Registered Manager

Join our passionate team as a Registered Manager and lead the way in delivering exceptional services in Glasgow.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established team across five services in Glasgow, supporting 14 individuals with learning disabilities and autism.

Together, the services provide around 1,200 commissioned hours of support, with a strong focus on delivering high-quality, person-centred support. You’ll be supported by three Team Leaders, working alongside you to lead and develop the teams and ensure individuals receive the very best support.

The services are well established within the local community and were recently inspected in January 2026, with a positive outcome, reflecting the strong foundations already in place.

We’re now looking for an experienced and values-driven Manager to build on this success, continue driving quality and lead the services into their next stage of development.

We would particularly welcome applications from candidates with a strong background in learning disabilities and autism, who understand the importance of person-centred support and have the leadership experience to inspire and develop their teams.

In this role, you will

• Support, inspire, and develop your team of support workers and team leaders to deliver outstanding care and support across services.
• You will oversee the delivery of high-quality care and support for individuals with learning disabilities, autism, challenging behaviours, and physical disabilities, each with their own unique and complex needs.
• Drive service improvements and quality standards
• Build strong relationships with your team, families, and communities

You’ll lead with purpose, inspire your teams, and deliver the highest standards of care while shaping the future of services.

What You’ll Bring

• A minimum Level 3 SVQ qualification in Health & Social Care with Level 4 being desirable (or working towards it)
• Strong experience in operational and people management
• A valid UK driver’s licence and willingness to travel locally
• A genuine passion for quality care — and the ability to lead by example

We’re looking for individuals who embody empathy, courage, honesty, equality, and passion. If that sounds like you, we’d love to welcome you to the team.

Why Join Lifeways?

When you join Lifeways, you step into a leadership role in a company that values and invests in its people. Our shared values guide everything we do: Caring – Honest – One Team – Innovative – Courageous – Equal

You’ll get:

• A supportive, inclusive workplace culture
• Matched contribution company pension scheme
• Wellbeing resources and mental health support
• Reward and Recognition Schemes
• Discounts on shopping, tech, travel, and more through CHOICE Rewards
• Access financial wellbeing tools with Stream, including real‑time pay tracking and early access to earned wages

Why Now?

We are on a bold journey to become the Care Provider of Choice — and this is an exciting time to join us.

We listen closely to our team members through surveys and forums and act on their ideas, continuously improving how we support both our people and the individuals in our care.

As a leader, you’ll have the authority, resources, and support to shape your team’s culture and the quality of care they deliver. We invest in your growth through leadership development and promote a workplace where wellbeing, diversity, and inclusion are more than just words — they’re lived values.

At Lifeways, you’re not just anyone. You’re a leader who can make a difference every single day.

We are not using agencies for this recruitment. Any CVs sent to anyone in Lifeways from a recruitment agency will be treated as a gift.
