Care Manager

Dual Registered Service Manager

Reading, Berkshire

If you're an experienced Registered Manager looking for your next career step, this role allows you to progress while remaining closely connected to the people you support. At Voyage Care, our leaders make a real difference every day by leading with compassion, accountability, and purpose.

Guided by our ETHOS values, we're looking for a confident and inspirational Dual Registered Service Manager to oversee two warm, well established residential services in Reading. This dual CQC registration role offers increased responsibility, professional growth, and the opportunity to shape culture and quality across two homes already delivering meaningful, person centred support.

About the Services

You will manage two residential services located just minutes apart, allowing you to maintain a strong on site presence across both homes. Together, the services support 11 individuals in total.

The first service supports six adults with mild to moderate learning disabilities and autism. The team has significant experience supporting individuals with complex and challenging needs, with a strong focus on consistency, structure, and enabling people to live independently and with confidence.

The second service, also based in Reading, supports five adults with learning disabilities, Down's syndrome, epilepsy, and physical disabilities. This is a stable, settled home with an enthusiastic and committed staff team who take pride in delivering high quality, person centred care.

Both services share the same purpose: supporting people to live meaningful lives with choice, dignity, and opportunity.

The Role

As the Dual Registered Service Manager, you will have overall responsibility for the leadership, quality, and compliance of both services. This role combines strategic oversight with hands on leadership, offering variety, challenge, and genuine reward.

You will:

• Provide strong, visible leadership across both homes
• Maintain dual CQC registration, ensuring ongoing compliance and high standards
• Embed consistent best practice, governance, and systems
• Lead, inspire, and develop teams to deliver outstanding care
• Spend time each week across both services to ensure presence, support, and communication
• Build open, positive relationships with families, professionals, and local authorities
• Oversee care planning, safeguarding, risk management, and medication governance
• Lead on recruitment, training, supervision, and performance development
• Champion a values led, supportive culture where colleagues feel confident and valued

This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys managing complexity, balancing priorities, and shaping high performing services.

Who We're Looking For

This role is suited to an experienced Registered Manager who is ready to take on a broader remit while remaining passionate about quality care and people development.

You'll bring:

• Proven experience as a Registered Manager in adult social care
• Confidence and readiness to undertake dual CQC registration
• Strong knowledge of learning disabilities, autism, and complex needs
• The ability to lead, motivate, and support teams across multiple locations
• A calm, organised approach to managing competing priorities
• Excellent communication skills with a relationship focused mindset
• A genuine commitment to living and leading by Voyage Care's values
