Ready for Your Next Leadership Challenge?
We're looking for an ambitious and passionate Registered Service Manager to join Voyage Care and lead an established residential service in Medway.
This is an exciting opportunity for either an experienced Registered Manager looking for a fresh challenge, or an experienced Deputy Manager, Care Manager or Service Manager ready to take the next step in their leadership career.
You'll be joining a vibrant, well-established service with a committed and caring team already in place. The service has strong foundations, good occupancy potential and plenty of opportunity for a manager who enjoys developing teams, embedding best practice and driving continuous improvement.
This isn't a turnaround service. It's a service with great potential that now needs a visible, supportive and proactive leader to help take it to the next level.
About the Role
As Registered Service Manager, you'll lead the day-to-day operation of the service, ensuring high standards of quality, compliance and person-centred support are consistently delivered.
Working closely with your team, your focus will be on:
Providing visible leadership and direction
Coaching, developing and inspiring colleagues
Embedding accountability and ownership across the service
Driving service quality and continuous improvement
Ensuring compliance with regulatory and internal standards
Managing occupancy and supporting future growth
Building a positive and high-performing team culture
Preparing the service for future inspections
Creating an environment where both colleagues and the people we support can thrive
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This service has recently moved from a dual-management structure to a standalone management model, creating an exciting opportunity for the right leader to make the role their own.
You'll inherit:
A fully staffed and committed team
An established service with strong foundations
Excellent community engagement
Opportunities for further development and growthWhat the team needs now is a manager who can provide clear direction, consistency and support, helping colleagues develop their skills while maintaining high standards and driving the service forward.
If you're someone who enjoys developing people, improving quality and creating a positive culture, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a genuine impact.
What We're Looking For
We're interested in both experience and values.
The ideal candidate will have:
Essential
Previous experience within a residential care management role
Experience supporting people with Learning Disabilities and Autism
Strong leadership and people management skills
Good knowledge of CQC regulations and quality standards
Experience driving service performance and quality improvement
Ability to develop, coach and motivate teams
