Care Manager

Service Manager – Residential Service (Bracknell)

Join Voyage Care and be part of an organisation where leadership genuinely changes lives.

We’re recruiting a Service Manager for a small, well-established residential service in the Bracknell area, supporting adults with:

  • Learning disabilities
  • Physical disabilities
  • Brain injuries
  • Complex needs

This is a settled and stable service with an experienced staff team already in place, offering an excellent platform for a confident manager to build, grow, and lead with purpose. This role presents a fantastic opportunity for someone who already has management experience in adult social care and is now ready to take the next step—leading a smaller service where you can truly see the impact of your leadership day to day.

About the service

The service is a residential home supporting four individuals, providing:

  • Personalised, person-centred care
  • A calm, homely environment

Relationships, consistency, and quality of life sit at the heart of everything we do here. It’s a service where people are supported to live meaningful, fulfilling lives, and where strong leadership plays a vital role in maintaining stability and high standards.

About the role

As Service Manager, you’ll:

  • Take ownership of the service while being fully supported by an experienced operational leadership structure
  • Be responsible for daily management of the home, ensuring:
    • Safe, high-quality, compliant care
    • Development of a positive, values-driven culture for both colleagues and the people we support
  • Lead a hands-on role, ideal for someone who enjoys:
    • Being visible
    • Leading from the front
    • Supporting teams to excel

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
