Registered Manager - Make a Real Difference Every Day

Join We Change Lives and lead with compassion, expertise and purpose.

Ready to lead, inspire and make a difference

Winsford | £54,000 per annum | 39 hours per week

We're looking for an experienced Registered Manager to lead our two specialist services, Chapel House and Crook, in Winsford. Supporting up to 16 people with Acquired Brain Injuries, mental health needs and other complex needs, these services provide high-quality, person-centred care. While this role oversees two services, both are small, close-knit homes with a combined total of only 16 residents. The services are only 8 minute care journey apart, meaning there is minimal travel required and no significant additional time spent moving between locations.

This is more than managing two services.

It's an opportunity to:

Lead and inspire dedicated teams

Champion high-quality, person-centred care

Develop and support your team

Shape the future of two specialist services

Make a genuine difference to the lives of the people we support

You'll take the lead on the day-to-day running of both services, maintaining excellent clinical standards, CQC compliance and a positive, person-centred culture. You'll also have the support of a Deputy Manager and an experienced wider team.

You will take responsibility for the day-to-day management of both services, ensuring excellent clinical standards, full CQC compliance, and a positive, person-centred culture throughout.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and develop both service teams
• Maintain high standards of clinical care and compliance
• Drive continuous improvement across both homes
• Manage staffing, budgets and resources effectively
• Build strong relationships with families, professionals and commissioners
• Ensure the people we support remain at the heart of all decisions

What We're Looking For

• Registered Nurse with at least 5 years' experience
• Previous management experience
• Strong knowledge of CQC standards
• Confident, proactive and approachable leadership style
• Ability to manage budgets and resources
• If you're an experienced clinical leader looking for your next opportunity, we'd love to hear from you.
