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, and 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 in 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 have the opportunity to take ownership of the service while being fully supported by an experienced operational leadership structure. You’ll be responsible for the day-to-day management of the home, ensuring safe, high-quality, compliant care while developing a positive, values-driven culture for both colleagues and the people we support.
