Job description

We are looking for an experienced Registered Manager to lead across two registered locations in Lincoln and Grantham. This includes an established supported living service and outreach hours. These locations benefits from a long-standing, dedicated staff team who are committed to providing high-quality, person-centred support. With a strong foundation already in place, this is an exciting opportunity for a confident, values-driven leader to build on that success and take the service forward. You'll be supported by a dedicated Area Manager, while having the autonomy to lead the service in your own style. You'll have the opportunity to inspire and develop an established team, champion outstanding quality and ensure the people we support continue to live fulfilling, independent lives.

We're looking for a leader who:

• Has a strong track record with Care Quality Commission (CQC), including achieving and maintaining Good or Outstanding ratings.
• Has experience improving or turning around services and embedding strong quality and governance.
• Is passionate about delivering high-quality, person-centred care for people with complex and profound learning and physical disabilities.
• Can lead, inspire, and develop a skilled care team to deliver exceptional support.
• Is committed to individualised care, dignity, independence, and meaningful outcomes for every person supported.

In this role, you will:

• Support, inspire, and develop your team of support workers, team leaders and a deputy manager to deliver outstanding care and support within this purpose built care home.
• 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.

Qualifications and Experience

• A minimum Level 3 qualification in Health & Social Care with Level 5 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.

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