Appointed Manager

Appointed Manager - Learning Disabilities Residential Service
-37,000 (DOE) | 5-Bed Home (South Wales Valleys - Wattsville)
Working Hours: Full-Time

Imagine managing a home where your biggest daily challenge might be settling a debate about whether the sheep in the nearby fields have moved closer... while quietly ensuring every care standard is met without a single spreadsheet tantrum.

We''re seeking an Appointed Manager (think Service Manager with less red tape) for our client''s small, mountain-view home supporting adults with learning disabilities in their later years. With a Nominated Individual already handling CIW compliance, this role is about people over paperwork. This is perfect for leaders who prefer care plans to corporate politics.

Why This Role Stands Out:
* Stable foundation: Inherit solid CIW frameworks while putting your stamp on daily operations

* Growth opportunity: Lead through the home''s upcoming expansion to 7 beds

* Balanced environment: Mountain views outside, purposeful work inside

What You''ll Bring:
* 2+ years managing teams in care settings (learning disability experience preferred)
* Working knowledge of CIW standards and quality frameworks
* Natural leadership - able to support staff through change while maintaining standards
* Practical approach to problem-solving in a residential setting
* A Full UK Driver''s License

Your Core Responsibilities:
* Oversee day-to-day operations of the home

* Maintain and enhance existing quality assurance systems

* Support and develop your team through the expansion period

* Ensure person-centred care remains at the heart of everything
