At Godfrey Care, our Deputy Residential Service Managers don't just support services — they help lead teams, shape culture, and deliver outstanding care.
We're looking for an experienced Deputy Residential Service Manager to join our brand-new specialist residential service in Sheffield, opening around November.

About the service
Our new Sheffield service will support adults with learning disabilities, autism, and complex needs. Support will be tailored to each person's individual needs and may include 1:1, 2:1, or enhanced staffing levels.
As Deputy Residential Service Manager, you'll play an important role in mobilising the service ahead of its opening, supporting the recruitment and development of the team, embedding high standards of care, and helping to create an environment where people are supported to build independence, develop life skills, and enjoy meaningful lives within their community.
This is a hands-on leadership role where your support, organisation, and commitment to quality will help shape the success of the service.
Your role
Working alongside the Residential Service Manager, you'll help ensure the quality, safety, and performance of the service by:

- Supervising, supporting, developing, and motivating the staff team
- Assisting with rotas, staffing, audits, occupancy, and other operational responsibilities
- Building positive relationships with families, commissioners, healthcare professionals, and internal stakeholders
- Acting as the Service Manager in their absence
You'll be supported throughout by an experienced Residential Service Manager, Area Manager, Internal PBS Specialist, and a wider leadership team committed to helping you succeed.
