About The Role

Mental Health Residential Service

£3,000 Welcome Bonus!!!

Build a mental health service from the ground up – and run it your way

How often do you get to open a service?

Coniston House is a brand-new residential mental health service in Camberley, and we are looking for its first Registered Manager – someone to recruit the team, set the standards, shape the culture and lead the service through CQC registration and beyond.

This is a genuine leadership role with real autonomy. You will own service delivery, compliance, staffing and budgets, make the decisions, and have the direct backing of a senior management team who trust their managers to lead, including monthly contact with our Head Office in Hatfield.

Nouvita is an established, CQC-regulated provider of specialist mental health and social care services across the South East: small enough that you’ll know the directors by name, established enough to give you proper infrastructure and support.

About Coniston House:

Coniston House will support working-age men with a range of complex mental health conditions – including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, OCD, personality disorders, depression and anxiety – alongside co-occurring challenges such as substance or alcohol misuse and forensic backgrounds. Placements are short to mid-term and firmly recovery-focused: our aim is rehabilitation and progression, empowering residents to build the skills and confidence to move on to supported or independent living.

What you’ll be doing:

• Recruiting, leading and inspiring your staff team from day one, with hands-on support from our in-house recruitment function


• Providing strong, visible and supportive leadership, and setting a culture of dignity, respect and recovery


• Leading the service through CQC registration and maintaining compliance with all regulatory and organisational requirements


• Overseeing care planning, risk management and resident progression


• Managing budgets effectively to ensure the service’s financial sustainability


• Building positive relationships with residents, families, commissioners and professionals


• Driving continuous improvement and shaping the service’s development as it grows

What we’re looking for:

• Proven management experience in a residential mental health service or similar setting – as a Registered Manager, Service Manager, Home Manager, or an experienced Deputy ready to step up into your first registration


• NVQ/QCF/RQF Level 5 in Health and Social Care (or equivalent), or significant progress toward it


• Strong working knowledge of CQC regulations and best practice in mental health care


• Experience of budget management and staff development


• The confidence to work autonomously, use your initiative and make sound decisions


• A compassionate, resilient and solution-focused leadership style, with excellent communication and organisational skills


• A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to Head Office (Hatfield) as required

What we can offer you:

• £3,000 welcome bonus


• Up to 33 days’ annual leave (including bank holidays)


• Comprehensive in-house training and development


• Workplace Nursery Scheme


• Cash Back Medical Plan


• Pension scheme


• Cycle to Work Scheme


• Exclusive high street discounts via HCPA Academy


• Refer a Friend bonus scheme


• Employee Assistance Programme for 24/7 support


• Birthday leave after one year with us
