Registered Manager – Chester Road

An exciting opportunity to join an established, successful service

We are looking for a passionate and supportive Registered Manager to join Chester Road, a well-established, person-centred service with a strong and experienced team.

Chester Road is in a really positive place. Following a recent inspection, the service achieved two Excellent and two Good ratings from Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW), recognising the quality of support, leadership and positive outcomes being achieved.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a service with strong foundations already in place. Rather than starting from scratch, you'll be able to build on the great work of an established team while bringing your own ideas, experience and leadership style.

About the Role

As Registered Manager, you'll work alongside a knowledgeable and committed team to ensure people continue to receive high-quality, person-centred support.

You'll have the opportunity to get to know the service, the people we support, their families and the team, building on what already works well and helping to shape the service's next chapter.

You'll also be supported by an experienced senior leadership team, with guidance available as you settle into the role and develop your knowledge of the service.

What You'll Be Doing

• Providing positive, approachable leadership to an established team.
• Building on the high standards already recognised by CIW.
• Supporting the team to continue progressing towards NAS Accreditation, with an established Quality Action Group and specialist support already in place.
• Keeping quality, compliance and person-centred support at the heart of the service.
• Coaching and developing staff, recognising their strengths and encouraging new ideas.
• Working closely with the people we support, families and other professionals.
• Supporting the continued development of communication, choice, independence and meaningful outcomes for the people who live at Chester Road.
• Overseeing the day-to-day running of the service, with support from the wider management team when needed.

About You

We're looking for someone who is enthusiastic about social care and enjoys bringing out the best in people. You may already be an experienced Registered Manager, or you may be ready to take the next step in your management career with the right support around you.

Ideally, you will:

• Have experience working within a regulated social care service.
• Hold, or be willing to work towards, the required management qualification.
• Be a supportive and approachable leader who enjoys developing a team.
• Understand the importance of person-centred care, quality and good governance.
• Be confident building positive relationships with people we support, families, colleagues and professionals.
• Bring fresh ideas while valuing and building on the good practice already in place.
• Be committed to learning and developing in the role.

Why Chester Road?

• Join a settled service with a strong, experienced team.
• Build on excellent recent CIW feedback and positive outcomes.
• Benefit from support from an experienced senior leadership team.
• Be part of an ongoing NAS Accreditation journey without having to lead it alone.
• Access ongoing learning, development and career progression opportunities.
• Have the freedom to bring your own ideas and help shape the future of the service.
• Make a genuine difference to the lives of the people we support every day.

Interested?
