Registered Service Manager

Creative Support is looking for a caring, dynamic and highly motivated person to co-manage our varied portfolio of social care services in Blackpool. This will be a dual registration with an established RSM already in place whereby you would be responsible for 9 learning disability supported living services. You will be lead and supported by a highly motivated and experienced team of local managers and will contribute to the further development of our services within the region. You must be an accomplished manager and have extensive experience and knowledge of working within the social care sector, ideally including supported living services for people with a learning disability as well as people on the autistic spectrum, and people who have additional complex care and communication needs. We also provide support for people living independently in the community who do not require full time support and you will have some oversight of this provision too.

We are looking for someone who can carry out the role demonstrating a person-centred approach with a warm, confident and professional manner. Experience of staff and service management is essential. If you have the vision, the will and organisational ability to deliver excellent outcomes for people we support, as well as understanding initiatives which connect them to their local community, we would love to talk to you.

A requirement of this role is that you will be the Registered Manager with CQC. This will be a dual registered service alongside a second established and experienced Registered Manager. Prior experience as a Registered Manager is not essential but you must be a confident and accountable practitioner with the ability to put quality standards into practice. We will provide lots of support, training and guidance to help you, as well as a very supportive environment with like-minded leaders who share the same values as part of your team.

You in turn must be able to lead a team with confidence and provide clear guidance, supervision and support to your team members. You will be able to communicate positively and professionally with the families of the people we support, their advocates and other agencies.

You will be based in our friendly, central, well equipped office in Blackpool and will have regular direct contact with service users and the opportunity to attend person-centred reviews and develop positive relationships with people we support.

You will have the opportunity to communicate and liaise positively and professionally with families of people we support, advocates and other agencies and commissioners

This role offers unique and challenging opportunities bringing great job satisfaction and career development opportunities. We provide relevant training including accredited management training and health and social care diplomas through our own training academy.
