Who we are looking for

We are seeking a Regional Manager to join our Nottinghamshire team. You will be responsible for leading a team of 5 Supported Living Managers (SLMs) and drive the delivery of measurable person-centred outcomes.

With input through our Management Development Programme, you will be supported to manage, mentor and upskill the SLMs in line with Perthyn’s strategic plan.

You will need to motivate managers and their teams to achieve and maintain high standards. This requires the ability to ‘zoom in’ to track individual progress and ‘zoom out’ to analyse regional trends. Proficiency in using IT/Database systems to gather, analyse, and report information is essential.

It is essential that you:

• Have experience in supporting people who can communicate through behaviour who may also have additional mental health/ autism diagnosis
• Support and enable your team of SLMs to progress the choice and independence of people supported and help meet their chosen outcomes.
• Can be responsive to the immediate support needs of people and their support teams when complex high-risk issues arise
• Understand the issues faced when providing support in dispersed localities across a large geographical area, and experience of managing these.
• Are able to develop and maintain positive joint working relationships with external MDTs and forensic support teams
• Be able to influence, plan and support potential growth as opportunities for new work arise and lead on identifying business growth opportunities within Nottinghamshire and surrounding counties.

This role is based in our regional office in Mansfield, and although there can be regular travel across the business, we offer hybrid working to help reduce travel time. Flexibility and reliability are essential, as this is not always a 9-5 job. Participation in the out-of-hours on-call rota is also required.

About the role

The Regional Manager (RM) is also the Registered Manager with CQC. The post holder will be required to register with CQC upon successful completion of the probation period, which is normally 6 months.

Reporting to the Head of Support and Inclusion (HOSI) for England, the RM will be accountable for maintaining compliance with all the requirements of our regulators, including CQC, Local Authority Commissioners, and CHC (Continuing Health Care) Commissioners.

Another key function of the role is to ensure that the people we support are actively involved in all aspects of their support, including the selection of new staff and providing feedback about their performance as part of the probation process. The RMs work as part of the Senior Management Team and meet regularly with the HOSI to plan the work needed to achieve and maintain the standards set out in the organisational strategic plan.
