Summary

Registered Manager – Brand-New Start-Up Care Provider (Lancashire)
Salary: £40,000 – £45,000
Full-Time - Supported Living & Learning Disabilities

Are you an ambitious, forward-thinking Registered Manager ready to build something from the ground up?

We’re thrilled to be partnering with a brand-new, independent care provider launching services across Lancashire. This is a rare opportunity to take the lead in shaping a service from scratch—perfect for a driven Manager who loves autonomy, service development, and putting their own stamp on how high-quality care should look.

As Registered Manager, you won’t just oversee operations—you will be instrumental in building the service, establishing relationships, and driving growth from day one.

Why This Role Is Different:

This isn’t a traditional Registered Manager position.
It’s a start-up environment where you’ll be expected to:

Business develop: Build relationships with local authorities, secure referrals, and grow the client base.
Design care packages: Work directly with councils, social workers, and families to create tailored support plans.
Shape the service model: Influence everything from team culture to care standards and operational systems.
Build the brand: Represent the organisation, promote its values, and champion exceptional care within the community.
If you thrive in environments where no two days are the same and enjoy creating, developing, and leading, this is the perfect next step.

Key Responsibilities:

Service Leadership: Establish and oversee day-to-day operations across supported living and learning disability services.
Business Development: Engage proactively with local authorities, commissioners, and external partners to secure referrals and grow the service.
Care Package Design: Lead on assessments, support planning, and partnership working with councils and families.

Compliance & Quality: Ensure full compliance with CQC requirements and embed robust quality assurance processes.
Team Development: Recruit, train, and inspire a high-performing, person-centred care team.
Strategic Growth: Work with senior leaders to scale services in line with organisational goals and market needs.
Financial Management: Manage budgets effectively and ensure high-quality, cost-efficient service delivery.

Requirements:

Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health & Social Care (or working towards).
Experience as a Registered Manager or senior leader within learning disabilities or supported living.
Strong understanding of CQC frameworks and governance.
Proven ability to build relationships with local authorities and commissioners.
Confident in business development, service planning, and creating care packages.
Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle.
Passion for delivering high-quality, person-centred care.

What’s on Offer:

£40,000 – £45,000 depending on experience
Huge opportunity for future progression as the organisation grows
Full autonomy to shape and develop a brand-new service your way
Supportive senior leadership team and a forward-thinking approach
A role where your impact will be felt immediately—and recognised
