Make a Real Impact in a Warm, Vibrant Residential Service on the Whitby Coast
An established care provider is currently working with a recruitment partner to appoint an experienced Registered Manager for a small, friendly residential service based in Whitby.
This is a small specialist home supporting individuals with a range of needs, including non-verbal communication and behaviours that may be described as challenging. The service is known for its lively, social atmosphere and strong focus on person-centred, meaningful living — from community outings and volunteering to shared activities and everyday moments that really matter.
The home is ideally located on Whitby’s West Cliff, close to the seafront, beaches and local amenities, and has been thoughtfully adapted from a former hotel into a high-quality specialist setting with individual flats and communal activity spaces.

* Previous experience as a Registered Manager (highly desirable)
* Strong management experience within residential or nursing care services
* A full UK driving licence
* Sound knowledge and confidence in MCA/DoLS
* Excellent organisational skills and a proactive, positive leadership style
