Make a difference where it matters most

We’re proud to be recognised as the 2025 Housing with Care Employer of the Year – and we’re excited to welcome a new Regional Head of Operations to our East region. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced leader with significant experience within supported living services, including the delivery of housing-related support, homelessness services, tenancy management and tenancy sustainment.

You’ll be part of a compassionate, community-focused team that puts people first – every single day. #BeYourBest is more than a hashtag – it’s our commitment to helping our people grow, thrive and feel valued. We’ll support you with the tools, training and encouragement to reach your full potential, while celebrating your individuality and the difference you make every day.

As a not-for-profit organisation, we reinvest in our people and our services, helping colleagues thrive both personally and professionally while delivering outstanding outcomes for our customers and communities.

Your role

Support the strategic development and implementation of high-quality supported living services, ensuring services meet customer, organisational, and financial needs while maintaining long-term sustainability.
Provide effective leadership across supported living services within the region, promoting a positive organisational culture, safe working practices, and a high-performance environment.
Coach, guide, and support Area Service Managers to deliver service improvements, successful transformations, new service implementations, and organic business growth.
Ensure compliance with all legislative, regulatory, and governance requirements, minimising risk and maintaining safe, secure, and high-quality services.
Monitor and audit service performance against contractual obligations and key performance indicators (KPIs), identifying areas for improvement and driving corrective actions.
Oversee the financial performance of regional services, including budget setting, monitoring, and cost management to ensure sustainable operations.
Analyse and communicate emerging trends, customer needs, behaviours, and market insights to support strategic planning and future service development.
Build and maintain effective relationships with senior internal and external stakeholders, providing reports and presentations to inform decision-making and regulatory compliance.
Lead recruitment, performance management, and staff development activities to ensure a skilled, engaged, and high-performing workforce.
Lead and contribute to strategic programmes, projects, and initiatives that support organisational objectives, values, and continuous improvement.

Your skills

Relevant degree, management qualification, or equivalent experience
CIH Level 5 qualification (or willingness to attain)
Full UK driving licence
Extensive knowledge of supported living services, legislation, and regulatory requirements including CQC and Ofsted
Proven experience delivering service improvements, business growth, and cost-effective operations
Strong commercial, tendering, budgeting, and financial management skills
Experience working successfully within a regulated environment
Excellent stakeholder engagement and relationship management skills
Strong project management and people leadership experience
Ability to drive performance, change, and continuous improvement within services

Your rewards

You deserve more than the basics. That’s why, alongside 33 days’ annual leave pro rata (rising to 38, including bank holidays), occupational sick pay linked to length of service, and a contributory pension scheme, we’ve created a package to help you thrive:

Health and wellbeing support – including Aviva Digicare+ with virtual GP appointments, plus an Employee Assistance Programme offering medical, financial, and legal advice, as well as short-term counselling

Company-paid life insurance

Parental leave arrangements and annual leave purchase scheme

Company-funded training and ongoing career development opportunities

Flexible working options and an inclusive culture where everyone belongs, supported by our staff networks including PRISM, Disability, Race Equality and Parent networks
