Service Manager Adult Services

MacIntyre is a leading national charity shaping inclusive and welcoming neighbourhoods where people with learning disabilities and autistic people are able to contribute, connect and lead gloriously ordinary lives. 

Our vision is for all people with a learning disability and/or autism to live a life that makes sense to them.

We are looking for an experienced Service Manager for our very busy and active registered home in Great Holm, MK. You will also support a small supported living service nearby. 

• You will oversee our large and creative staff team, including a deputy manager, senior support workers and support workers. 
• Your team is your best asset and you will lead them by being visible and encouraging. You will mentor the staff and ensure they have all the training and resources they need. You’ll work with your team to keep support fresh, creative and genuinely person-centred.
• You will ensure that the people who draw on our support have gloriously ordinary lives and you will actively promote our ‘Everyone Everywhere’ initiatives. 
• As manager you will need to be registered with the CQC and have a good understanding of the regulation and compliance standards.

• You will be ambitious for yourself, your staff and for the people who draw on our support and will ensure MacIntyre’s DNA and Leadership DNA are embedded in all that you and your teams do. 
• You’ll be creative in your thinking and your approach to staff, the people we support and their families. 
• You will be skilled in building and developing relationships with external professionals, social work teams, families and the local community. 
• You'll need to be well-organised, with a good understanding of budgeting, and be a confident IT user.
• You must be a driver with a manual licence with your own transport, as you will travel between services in the area, as well as to meetings, conferences and training.

What we need from you

• You will have experience of supporting people with additional needs, ideally those with a learning disability. You will have managed a team.
• You’ll be creative in your thinking and your approach to staff, the people we support and their families, able to inspire and motivate.
