Up to £40,000 per annum + bonus & excellent benefits

We are working with a valued client in the social care sector who is seeking an experienced Registered Service Manager to lead a dedicated team at a residential service in Brentwood. This role offers the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of people with learning disabilities, autism, and complex needs, while also developing your leadership career in a supportive environment.

The Service :

The home is set in the Essex countryside and provides a welcoming, vibrant environment where residents enjoy a wide variety of activities – from cycling and swimming to hydrotherapy, trampolining, arts, and days out. It’s also a place where people can relax, enjoy picnics, or spend quiet time at home, creating a truly person-centred service.

The Role :

As the Service Manager, you will :

• Ensure the service operates to the highest quality, care, and compliance standards.
• Lead, develop, and inspire your team to reach their full potential.
• Support individuals to live fulfilling, independent lives.
• Take responsibility for financial and resource management within the service.
• Drive quality assurance and regulatory compliance, ensuring CQC standards are consistently met.
• Report effectively on management information and service performance.

This is a CQC-registered role requiring strong leadership, interpersonal and organisational skills, as well as the ability to balance care excellence with operational responsibility.

About You :

To be successful in this role, you will :

• Have experience supporting people with learning disabilities and / or complex behaviours.
• Be an established Service Manager (or Deputy looking for the next step), ideally within supported living or residential care.
• Hold at least a Level 3 qualification in Health & Social Care (with support available to progress to Level 4 and 5).
• Be confident, flexible, and efficient – with the ability to work shifts and take part in the on-call rota.
• Above all, be passionate about delivering person-centred care that enables people to thrive.

Benefits :

Our client is committed to being a supportive and rewarding employer. You will benefit from :

• Annual discretionary bonus scheme (10%).
• Holiday purchase scheme (buy up to 2 extra days each year).
• Recognition & rewards platform, including long service awards.
• Comprehensive learning & development opportunities.
• Life assurance (2x salary).
• Access to earned wages before payday.
• Discounts with over 150 retailers.
• Health & wellbeing support, including EAP and Mental Health First Aiders.
