Ready to ditch the corporate red tape and lead with real heart?

We are not your average care provider. We believe that having a learning disability or autism should never look like a life limited. It should look like a life filled with ambition, milestones, belly laughs, and genuine independence.

We are looking for a Learning Disabilities Service Manager in Manchester who is ready to lead an inspired team, build a vibrant community culture, and truly own the success of our services. If you are a natural leader who balances CQC compliance with a deeply human, creative approach to care, we want you.

About Your Cluster Forget giant, institutional blocks. You will be managing a local, high\-quality cluster of 3 small, boutique supported living homes nestled close together in Manchester.

Each home has exactly 3 beds, allowing our teams to provide deeply personal, highly attentive, and distraction\-free care to just 9 incredible individuals in total. This gives you the scale and prestige of a multi\-site management role, while maintaining the warm, tight\-knit feel of small community households.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Real Autonomy: We trust your expertise. You will have the freedom to shape the service, introduce new activities, and run your hubs like a community.

  • A Vibrant Culture: We celebrate everything. From major milestones to small personal victories, our environment is energetic, supportive, and deeply rewarding.

  • Career Growth: We invest heavily in our managers with funded leadership qualifications, specialized clinical training, and clear pathways to regional roles.

  • Great Perks: Enjoy a competitive salary, an on\-call allowance, quality\-based performance bonuses, 33 days of annual leave, and travel support/mileage to easily commute between your 3 local sites.
What Your Day\-to\-Day Looks Like

No two days are ever the same, but here is what you will master:

  • Inspiring Your Team: Leading, mentoring, and energizing a dedicated team of Support Workers and Team Leaders across your 3 locations.

  • Championing Independence: Designing creative, person\-centred care and support plans that empower our 9 residents to learn new skills, access the community, and crush their personal goals.

  • Owning Quality Assurance: Keeping our services fundamentally safe, legal, and thriving. You will ensure we remain fully compliant with all CQC regulations and local authority frameworks.

  • Building Networks: Forging strong, collaborative relationships with families, social workers, healthcare professionals, and local Manchester community groups.
Who You Are
  • An Experienced Leader: You have a proven track record as a Registered Manager, Deputy Manager, or Service Manager within a learning disabilities or autism setting.

  • Qualified (or working towards it): You hold an NVQ/QCF Level 5 in Leadership and Management for Health and Social Care (or equivalent).

  • A People Person: You possess infectious energy, deep empathy, and the ability to communicate beautifully with residents, staff, and families alike.

  • Mobile \& Local: You know the Manchester landscape and possess a valid UK driving licence to easily move between your 3 local sites.
How to ApplyIf you are ready to bring your passion to a team that values your voice and celebrates your impact, we want to hear from you.

Pay: £40,000\.00\-£48,000\.00 per year
