Job description

Registered Manager

Location: Leyland, Lancashire

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.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a passionate, self-motivated, and experienced Registered Manager to lead two homes in Lancashire—one five-bed and one four-bed—both providing specialist care and support for adults with cognitive and developmental conditions, including learning disabilities, autism, and associated mental-health needs.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference, ensuring high-quality, person-centred care that promotes independence, dignity, and choice for the people we support.

This is more than a supported living manager role — it’s a chance to help shape the future of care in a supportive, forward-thinking environment.

What You’ll Bring

• A minimum Level 3 qualification in Health & Social Care with Level 5 being desirable (or working towards it)
• Strong experience in operational and people management
• A valid UK driver’s licence and willingness to travel locally
• A genuine passion for quality care — and the ability to lead by example

We’re looking for individuals who embody empathy, courage, honesty, equality, and passion. If that sounds like you, we’d love to welcome you to the team.

What You’ll Get

• A key role in a regional leadership team where your voice matters
• Support from central teams (HR, Quality, Finance, etc.) so you can focus on care delivery and commercial performance
• Ongoing personal and professional development — we’ll help you grow as a leader
• A competitive salary with bonus potential

Core benefits include

• Enjoy financial wellbeing tools with Stream — real-time pay tracking, savings features, and instant access to earned pay when you need it.
• Matched pension scheme
• Life insurance
• Sick pay
• Mileage allowance
• Discounts, cycle to work, well-being resources, and Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)

Why Now?

This is an exciting time to join Lifeways as we launch another fantastic benefit – Stream, and act on the latest engagement survey, we're proud to say:

You helped shape this. Now, come and take it further.

We’re not just improving care. We’re building something better — for the people we support, and for the people who support them.

Our services are now fully digitised, from personalised care plans to real-time rostering tools. These changes mean our teams spend less time on admin and more time doing what they do best: delivering outstanding care.

We are proudly diverse, inclusive, and collaborative — and we’re committed to maintaining high-quality, stable teams. We are not using agencies for this recruitment. Any CVs sent to anyone in Lifeways from a recruitment agency will be treated as a gift.
