Registered Manager - Learning Disability – Supported Living - Dual Site
Location: Bedford
Salary: Up to £45,000, consisting of a base salary and performance bonus.
Are you an experienced Registered Manager? Do you have a record of empowering staff to achieve under pressure? If the answer is "Yes" then this is an opportunity to put yourself in the spotlight. Not only will you manage some of Glenholme's most successful locations, but you will also have the opportunity to grow with us as we continue to expand with the opening of new services.
As the Registered Manager, you will be overseeing the day-to-day operations of two Supported Living services within Bedford-Warwick Manor and Shakespeare House, which are both positioned in close proximity to each other. The client group are individuals with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities & complex needs.
Warwick Manor is a large attractive period property which has been fully refurbished in 2018. Each resident has their own well-appointed studio or one-bedroom apartment providing greater independence and the opportunity to develop life skills. The service also offers access to the generous gardens and to a warm communal flat where service users can go if they wish to socialize or need a bit of extra support 24/7.
Shakespeare House is a fully refurbished detached home completed in 2020 and consists of five spacious rooms. The home has been fitted specifically to support those with learning disabilities and has a warm communal lounge, extended kitchen, ensuite bathrooms, and generous gardens, as well as sensory and “chill out” activity rooms. Shakespeare House is specifically designed for people looking to explore the care pathway to greater levels of independence. The service delivers an intensive supported living model of care to ensure that residents have access to excellent levels of high-quality care and support with the independence of a supported living scheme.
Both services are situated in a leafy residential area of the market town of Bedford close to shops, cafes, restaurants, entertainment, and community activities, including swimming, and many of Bedford’s beautiful parks. There are transport links, including a short direct bus route into the centre of Bedford. This ensures service users are able to create positive links with the local and wider community in Bedford.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a strong care ethos and an entrepreneurial flare looking for a new challenge and the opportunity to further develop and improve this service.
