This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established team supporting people with learning disabilities and autism, while leading and developing a dedicated team to deliver high-quality, person-centred support.
What You'll Be Doing
As Registered Manager, you'll:

- Oversee the delivery of high-quality, person-centred care and support for individuals with learning disabilities, autism and a range of complex support needs.
- Support and develop your Team Leaders and wider support teams, helping them achieve their full potential.
- Drive continuous improvement across the services and maintain high standards of quality and compliance.
- Build strong and positive relationships with the people we support, their families, colleagues and local communities.
- Ensure services operate effectively while providing safe, meaningful and personalised support.
- Lead by example and create a culture where people feel supported, valued and empowered.
What you'll bring
We're looking for someone who is passionate about social care and has the leadership experience to make a real difference.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll Ideally Have
- Previous management experience within adult social care, ideally within supported living, learning disabilities or autism services.
- Strong experience in operational and people management.
- Experience leading, developing and motivating teams.
- A good understanding of quality, compliance and regulatory requirements within social care.
- A valid UK driving licence and willingness to travel locally between services.
- A genuine passion for delivering high-quality, person-centred support.
Already a Registered Manager? Great. If you're an experienced Service Manager or Deputy Manager ready to take your next step, we'd also love to hear from you.
