Lead with purpose. Deliver lasting impact.
At Stonewater, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live independently, thrive within their community, and achieve their ambitions.
We’re looking for an experienced and passionate Service Manager to lead our five Supported Living services in Swindon (Swindon Foyer, Radnor Lodge, Wiltshire House, Ellis House, and Milton Road), and help shape exceptional outcomes for people with diverse support needs.
This is a rewarding leadership role where you’ll inspire and develop a dedicated team, champion customer-focused services, and ensure the delivery of high-quality, person-centred support. If you’re motivated by making a genuine difference and have experience within supported housing, social care, homelessness, mental health, learning disabilities, or young people’s services, we’d love to hear from you.
About The Role

You’ll lead and support a team of colleagues to deliver exceptional customer experiences, while ensuring compliance, safeguarding, health and safety, and service standards are consistently achieved.
