About Perthyn

Perthyn is a large not-for-profit organisation supporting around 190 adults with learning disabilities across England and Wales. We are committed to providing just the right amount of support to enable each person to play to their strengths, maximise their independence and live a full and active life.

We invest heavily in people through comprehensive training, leadership development and career progression opportunities. Our values place the people we support at the centre of everything we do, promoting choice, control, inclusion and meaningful outcomes.

In Shropshire, we support people living in their own homes, both in shared accommodation and individual tenancies. People may require support with everyday living skills, maintaining relationships, managing finances, communication, emotional wellbeing and achieving personal goals. Our Positive Behaviour Support Team works closely with managers and staff to promote positive outcomes and quality of life.

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Supported Living Manager, Deputy Regional Manager or operational leader who is ready to take the next step in their career.

Reporting to the Head of Support & Inclusion, you will provide leadership and direction to a group of Supported Living Managers who each lead with a cluster of houses within the Shropshire region.

You will work alongside an experienced Regional Manager who oversees the other half of the county, providing excellent opportunities for coaching, mentoring and professional development. This makes the role ideal for someone with strong operational management experience who is ambitious, eager to learn and ready to broaden their leadership responsibilities.

As part of Perthyn's Senior Management Team, you will play a key role in maintaining high-quality support, driving service development, supporting organisational growth and ensuring compliance with regulatory and contractual requirements.

We are particularly keen to hear from candidates who can confidently support teams through periods of change, growth and continuous improvement initiatives.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading, coaching and developing Supported Living Managers and their teams.

• Ensuring high-quality, person-centred support is delivered across the region.

• Supporting managers to develop effective support plans and achieve positive outcomes.

• Monitoring quality, compliance and performance against organisational and regulatory standards.

• Building positive working relationships with CQC, Local Authority Commissioners, Continuing Healthcare Commissioners and other stakeholders.

• Supporting through transitions, development opportunities and change programmes.

• Using management information systems and operational data to identify trends and opportunities for improvement.

• Ensuring people we support are actively involved in quality monitoring, recruitment and service development.

• Working alongside senior leaders to identify future business growth opportunities across Shropshire and neighbouring counties.

• Participating in the out-of-hours on-call rota.

• Level 3 qualification in Health and Social Care or above.

• Experience managing Supported Living Managers or equivalent operational managers.

• Significant experience within learning disability services.

• Experience leading service improvement and development initiatives.

• Strong understanding of person-centred support planning.

• Experience of supporting teams through change and transitions.

• Ability to analyse information, identify trends and make informed decisions.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is energetic, enthusiastic and committed to achieving excellent outcomes for the people we support.

You will be a visible leader who can motivate managers and their teams to achieve high standards whilst providing appropriate support and challenge. You'll be equally comfortable "zooming in" to understand the needs and progress of individual people we support, and "zooming out" to analyse regional performance and identify opportunities for improvement.

Most importantly, you'll be passionate about developing people, improving quality and helping Perthyn continue to grow and innovate.

Your Rewards

• Salary of £39,000 to £44,000 per annum.

• £1,000 annual car allowance.
