Registered Manager | Residential / Supported Living | Finchley
We’re recruiting for a confident, emotionally intelligent Registered Manager to take ownership of a newly acquired 6-bed residential service with adjoining supported living units in Finchley (North London). This full-time, permanent role offers a rare opportunity to set the tone from day one, stabilise a service with legacy challenges, and build a strong, respectful culture that balances compliance with care.
The provider is well-versed in supported living but new to residential care, and the current setup needs calm, consistent leadership. This is a Monday–Friday position with the opportunity to shape the long-term direction of the service. You’ll be backed by a hands-on Director and supported by part-time deputies who need clear, present mentorship.
This is a values-led, people-first service, and your leadership will have a direct impact on culture, credibility, and the CQC trajectory.
