Job Title: Supported Living Manager
Location: Ilford, IG1
Salary: £32,000 – £36,000 per year
Job Type: Full-Time

The Opportunity

We’re working with a well-established provider of supported living services to find a capable and committed manager for two small, neighbouring schemes based in Ilford. Both services support adults with mental health needs, some of whom may display challenging behaviours.

One service supports 5 male residents

The other supports 5 female residents

Both are regulated by local authority commissioners and are located just across the street from each other.

The role would suit someone with a strong background in mental health support, who has hands-on management experience and ideally has worked with positive behaviour support approaches.

About the Services

Each property has been refurbished to a high standard and offers a homely, supportive environment for residents.

• All rooms are single occupancy, with en-suites or designated facilities

• Residents share communal spaces like lounges, kitchens, gardens, and activity areas

• Properties are fully equipped with fire safety systems and accessible features for those with mobility needs

• The male service features a dedicated activity room and a recently modernised interior

• The female service offers a more traditional, cosy layout, also across three floors

What We’re Looking For

• Experience managing supported living or residential care (ideally mental health focused)

• Knowledge of working with individuals with complex or challenging behaviours

• Comfortable supporting and leading staff teams

• Experience with positive behaviour support (PBS) or similar training is highly desirable

• Strong communication and organisational skills

• Someone proactive, confident, and committed to high standards of care and support

What’s on Offer

• Salary between £32,000 and £36,000 depending on experience

• Full-time, permanent role with long-term prospects
