Service Manager
We are seeking an experienced and motivated Service Manager to oversee a portfolio of supported living services across Oxford and Reading, supporting individuals with learning disabilities, mental health needs and complex needs.
You will have operational responsibility for:
- One supported living service in Oxford, supporting a diverse group of clients. Two individuals within this service are currently regulated.
- Four small supported living services in Reading, none of which are currently regulated.
In addition, an exciting new service in Reading is currently being built and is due to be commissioned in June/July 2026. This presents a fantastic opportunity to lead the mobilisation process, shape the service from the ground up, and oversee its successful launch and ongoing operation.
About The Services:
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.
- All five services in Reading are located in close proximity, with three situated next door to one another.
- The portfolio currently delivers approximately 800 commissioned hours per week.
- Your time will be shared across both locations, with an expected presence in Oxford three days per week, and oversight across Reading services alongside this.
What We're Looking For:
We are looking for a confident leader who can:
- Provide strong operational oversight across multiple services
- Support and develop staff teams
- Maintain compliance and quality standards
- Successfully mobilise and commission new services
- Build positive relationships with stakeholders, families, and commissioners
This is an excellent opportunity for a proactive manager who thrives in a dynamic environment and wants to play a key role in developing and expanding high-quality supported living services.
