Registered Branch Manager – Dorset DCA
Based in Christchurch Branch
£38,000 per year + £240 per month Car Allowance
Make a real difference every day.
At Voyage Care, we’re leaders in supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs, and acquired brain injuries. We’re now recruiting an experienced and values-driven Registered Branch Manager to lead our well-established Dorset supported living services.
Covering six schemes across the wider Dorset, you’ll be based at our Christchurch branch with travel to services each month to support your teams and Field Supervisors. This role offers the opportunity to take on a high-performing, fully staffed, and stable branch, with a positive team culture and long-standing relationships.
You’ll play a key role in shaping high-quality, person-centred support that empowers people to live independently and achieve their aspirations.
About the Role
As the Registered Branch Manager, you’ll oversee multiple supported living services and provide leadership to Coordinators, Field Supervisors, and Support Workers across the Dorset area. You will ensure the delivery of safe, consistent, and high-quality care to the people we support.
This is a fast-paced role requiring strong organisational skills, excellent follow-through, and a proactive approach to quality, systems, and compliance. You’ll be well supported by an experienced field-based team who maintain day-to-day oversight of each service, allowing you to focus on leadership, quality assurance, and operational planning.
