Description
At CrossReach, our Service Managers create environments where older people feel safe, valued and able to live fulfilling lives. They build strong teams, drive continuous improvement and ensure every person receives compassionate, person-centred support.
We're looking for an experienced and inspiring leader to manage one of our residential services for older people. This is an opportunity to shape the future of an established service, support a dedicated team and make a lasting difference to the lives of the people who call it home.
If you're passionate about delivering exceptional care, developing people and leading positive change, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Do
As Service Manager, you'll provide strategic and operational leadership for the service, ensuring older people receive the highest standards of care while creating an environment where colleagues feel supported to thrive.
You'll oversee every aspect of service delivery, from quality and compliance to people management and financial performance. Working closely with colleagues across CrossReach and partner organisations, you'll help shape services that respond to the changing needs of older people and their communities.
