This is a small, specialist residential service, seven beds, adults with learning disabilities and autism, some with complex needs, led by a team that genuinely understands the people it supports. The clinical infrastructure here is rare: an in-house psychologist, assistant psychologists, and a PBS specialist trainer. Decisions are made by people who care about outcomes, not a board watching the bottom line.
The home itself is a spacious Victorian property in the heart of Weston-super-Mare, five minutes from the seafront, close to all the town's amenities, and genuinely distinctive in how it's set up. As well as communal living areas, the home includes self-contained flats, giving residents as much independence as their needs allow. It's a place where people don't just receive care, they build a life.
As Registered Manager, you'll have real authority to shape the service. With HR, finance and therapeutic support all handled in-house, your energy goes where it should: into your team, your residents, and the quality of what you deliver.
What's on offer:
£40,000–£45,000 depending on experience
6 weeks' paid holiday plus bank holidays
Paid two-week induction
Ongoing CPD and specialist training
Long service and recognition awards
Pension, sick pay and shopping discounts
What you'll need:
At least three years' experience as a Registered Manager
A strong background working with adults with learning disabilities, autism and/or complex needs
Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care (or working toward it)
Confident leadership, sound CQC knowledge, and a genuine commitment to least-restrictive, person-centred practice
Please note: This role is unable to offer visa sponsorship. You'll need the right to work in the UK independently.

REGISTERED MANAGER | MENTAL HEALTH RESIDENTIAL | BRISTOL | £40,000–£45,000
Mental health residential care at its best is transformative. At its worst, it's underfunded, under-supported, and burning through managers every two years.
This is the former.
This is a 21-bed residential service for adults with mental health conditions and it has just achieved a clean Good rating across all five CQC key questions. That matters, because the journey to get there is worth knowing about.
Earlier assessments identified areas for improvement in safe care and governance. The provider acted. Medicines management was overhauled, governance strengthened, permanent staffing increased, and the team stabilised. When CQC returned in May 2025, the improvements were clear. One resident told inspectors: "The staff are a blessing. They've changed my life."
That's not a service in crisis. That's a service that knows how to put things right and has done.
Behind everything the service does sits a clinical infrastructure most providers can only dream of: an in-house psychologist, assistant psychologists and a PBS specialist trainer. You won't be making decisions in isolation. HR and finance are handled centrally too, which means your focus stays where it belongs on your team and the people in your care.
The home has real character. Gardens, a minibus for getting residents out into the community, a residents' kitchenette, and a pet-friendly environment that reflects the kind of homely, human ethos this organisation is built on. Close to local shops and public transport.
What's on offer:
£40,000–£45,000 depending on experience
6 weeks' paid holiday plus bank holidays
Paid two-week induction
Ongoing CPD and specialist training
Long service and recognition awards
Pension, sick pay and shopping discounts
What you'll need:
At least three years' experience as a Registered Manager
A solid background working with adults with mental health conditions and/or complex needs
Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care (or actively working toward it)
Confident, values-led leadership with strong CQC knowledge
A genuine commitment to least-restrictive, recovery-focused practice
Please note: This role is unable to offer visa sponsorship. You'll need the right to work in the UK independently.
