Job description

REGISTERED MANAGER | MENTAL HEALTH RESIDENTIAL | BRISTOL | £40,000-£45,000

Mental health residential care at its best is transformative.At its worst, it's underfunded, and under-supported.

This is the former.

This is a 21-bed residential service for adults with mental health conditions and it has just achieved a clean Good rating across all five CQC key questions.That matters, because the journey to get there is worth knowing about.

Earlier assessments identified areas for improvement in safe care and governance.The provider acted.Medicines management was overhauled, governance strengthened, permanent staffing increased, and the team stabilised.When CQC returned in May 2025, the improvements were clear.One resident told inspectors: "The staff are a blessing.They've changed my life."

That's not a service in crisis.That's a service that knows how to put things right and has done.

Behind everything the service does sits a clinical infrastructure most providers can only dream of: an in-house psychologist, assistant psychologists and a PBS specialist trainer.You won't be making decisions in isolation.HR and finance are handled centrally too, which means your focus stays where it belongs on your team and the people in your care.

The home has real character.Gardens, a minibus for getting residents out into the community, a residents' kitchenette, and a pet-friendly environment that reflects the kind of homely, human ethos this organisation is built on.Close to local shops and public transport.

What's on offer:

• £40,000-£45,000 depending on experience
• 6 weeks' paid holiday plus bank holidays
• Paid two-week induction
• Ongoing CPD and specialist training
• Long service and recognition awards
• Pension, sick pay and shopping discounts

What you'll need:

• At least three years' experience as a Registered Manager
• A solid background working with adults with mental health conditions and/or complex needs
• Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care (or actively working toward it)
• Confident, values-led leadership with strong CQC knowledge
• A genuine commitment to least-restrictive, recovery-focused practice

Please note: This role is unable to offer visa sponsorship.You'll need the right to work in the UK independently.
