Service Manager - Grimsby Job Description

Who We Are – Lifeways

Every day at Lifeways, our team members make a difference — and on our new careers website, you can read their real stories. You’ll meet people who have built rewarding careers with us, and people whose lives have been transformed through the support we provide.

These aren’t just stories — they’re proof of the impact we make together. Because at Lifeways, you’re not just anyone. You’re part of something bigger — a team that changes lives.

Lifeways is one of the UK’s leading providers of specialist support for people with learning disabilities, autism, brain injuries, mental health conditions, and complex care needs.

We’ve recently completed one of the biggest digital transformations in our sector — and we’re just getting started. From Property to PBS, our ambition is bold: to become the Care Provider of Choice, powered by innovation, stability and the belief that great care starts with great people.

The Opportunity

Service Manager - Grimsby

Join us in Grimsby and step into a role where your leadership makes a real difference. In Grimsby, you'll take the helm of three well-established services supporting 10 individuals with learning disabilities, autism, and physical disabilities. Backed by two Team Leaders and a dedicated team of Support Workers, you'll lead a passionate workforce committed to delivering outstanding, person-centred support.

We're looking for an experienced manager who leads positively from the front, inspires their team, and drives excellence in care. You'll play a key role in maintaining high-quality standards, developing your team, and ensuring the people we support are empowered to live fulfilling and independent lives. If you're a confident leader with strong operational and people management skills, this is an opportunity to make a lasting impact within a supportive and established service.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
