Are you an experienced Registered Service Manager looking for an opportunity where you can have a real impact on the lives of the people you support?

Charity People is delighted to be partnering with The Meath Epilepsy Charity to recruit a Registered Service Manager to lead a specialist residential service for adults with a disability in Surrey.

This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced and compassionate manager who combines strong knowledge of health and social care with a genuine commitment to delivering safe, high-quality, person-centred services.

The charity provides specialist residential care and day services, offering accommodation, tailored support, skills development and a wide variety of leisure and sporting activities. At the heart of its work is a commitment to enabling the people it supports to live fulfilled, independent and socially inclusive lives.

The role

As Registered Service Manager, you will provide day-to-day leadership for the residential service, ensuring the highest standards of care, safeguarding and regulatory compliance.

You will lead and support a team including Deputy Managers, Senior Support Workers, Support Workers and day, night, bank and agency staff, creating a positive culture where colleagues feel supported, developed and empowered to deliver excellent care.

You will also play an important role in ensuring the service remains fully compliant with CQC requirements, while keeping the people supported by the charity at the centre of decision-making and service delivery.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Leading and developing the team, providing supportive day-to-day management, supervision, appraisals, inductions and training.
• Ensuring high standards of care and compliance, with responsibility for maintaining CQC standards and ensuring policies, procedures and regulatory requirements are consistently followed.
• Overseeing the smooth running of the service, including rota planning, staffing levels, record keeping and service documentation.
• Championing person-centred support, ensuring residents are empowered to make choices, develop their independence and achieve their individual goals.
• Building positive relationships with residents, families, colleagues, trustees and external health and social care professionals.
• Overseeing medication management, ensuring safe administration and accurate record keeping.
• Supporting a safe and well-managed service, taking appropriate responsibility and providing leadership when emergencies or unexpected situations arise.
