Following our recent achievement of an Outstanding CQC rating, Maximus Support Services is looking for an ambitious and inspirational Registered Manager to join our senior leadership team and help shape the next stage of our journey.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants more than simply managing a service. We are looking for a leader who wants to build something, influence positive change, support vulnerable people in meaningful ways and become part of a highly motivated and values-driven organisation.
At Maximus, we have built our organisation around a simple principle: helping people who need it most, even when others may say no. We support individuals with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs and complex needs across community-based services throughout the Isle of Wight, always focusing on opportunities, independence and outcomes.
Our work is unique, dynamic and genuinely person-centred. We are incredibly proud of the culture we have created for both the people we support and our employees. We believe in supporting our teams properly, developing people into leaders and creating an environment where staff feel valued, motivated and empowered to make a difference.
The Opportunity
You will initially work alongside Becky Smith, our current Registered Manager, with a structured and supported pathway towards registration at the appropriate time.
Importantly, Becky Smith is not leaving the organisation. The successful candidate will work alongside Becky before she transitions into a different role within the company, while continuing to provide ongoing day-to-day support and guidance to the management team.
This role would suit:
- An experienced Registered Manager looking for a fresh challenge,
- A highly experienced care manager ready for the next step, or an exceptional leader from another sector with strong transferable leadership skills and a passion for improving lives.
We are particularly interested in individuals who:
- Build positive cultures
- Remain calm under pressure
- Are highly organised
- Can support and motivate teams
- Genuinely care about making a difference.
