The Role

As an Assistant Service Manager, you will work in close partnership with the Service Manager to support the effective day‑to‑day running of the service. You’ll provide hands‑on leadership, inspiring and mentoring staff to deliver high‑quality, person‑centred support using Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) and Active Support. Your focus will be on promoting meaningful activities, positive relationships, and genuine inclusion.

You’ll support compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements, relevant legislation, and organisational policies and procedures, and you’ll confidently act on behalf of the Service Manager when required. Throughout everything you do, you’ll champion high standards, dignity, and inclusion for the people we support and the teams you lead.

Waking Nights: Required on an as-needed basis to ensure continuous care, provide staff supervision, or support night teams.

What We’re Looking For

Experience: Proven history supporting people with learning disabilities and complex needs.

Leadership: Strong practice leadership skills with experience coaching, mentoring, and developing teams.

Approach: A clear understanding of how to balance safeguarding with positive risk‑taking.

Travel: A full UK driving license is highly desirable to support travel to the service and use service vehicles (not essential).
