Lead Change. Shape Quality. Make an Impact Across Lothian.
At Change Grow Live, we believe that every person deserves the opportunity to live a healthier, safer and more fulfilling life. Across Lothian, our teams work alongside individuals, families and communities to reduce harm, promote recovery and create lasting positive change.
We're looking for an exceptional Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) Registered Service Manager to lead our Scottish regulated services across the whole Lothian region. This is a unique opportunity to provide strategic and operational leadership across multiple sites, ensuring services are safe, effective, responsive and well-led, whilst inspiring teams to deliver outstanding support every day.
If you're an experienced leader who thrives in complex environments, enjoys building high-performing teams, and wants to influence service delivery across an entire geographical area, we'd love to hear from you.
The Opportunity
This is far more than a single-site management role.
As Registered Service Manager, you will provide leadership across all Change Grow Live regulated services throughout Lothian, working closely with operational teams, clinical colleagues, commissioners, partners and regulators to deliver high-quality care and support.
You'll act as the Care Inspectorate Registered Manager, ensuring regulatory compliance while driving innovation, quality improvement and excellent outcomes for the people and communities we support.
You'll be responsible for
- Leading regulated services across multiple Lothian locations
- Creating a culture that is safe, compassionate, inclusive and recovery-focused
- Ensuring compliance with Care Inspectorate and SSSC requirements
- Supporting and developing multidisciplinary teams
- Driving quality improvement, governance and performance
- Building strong relationships with NHS partners, ADPs, HSCPs, commissioners and community organisations
- Promoting trauma-informed and psychologically informed approaches across all services
- Overseeing operational, financial and contractual performance across the region
