Lead Services That Make a Difference

Aspens is entering an exciting new chapter. Following a recent organisational restructure, we've strengthened the way we deliver care, creating an even more effective, responsive and sustainable model of support for the people we support.

As part of this transformation, we've created new opportunities to join our leadership team—roles that didn't previously exist. We're looking for passionate, values-driven leaders who are committed to delivering outstanding, person-centred support, driving continuous improvement, and embedding high-quality, consistent standards across our services.

Reporting to the Head of Sussex, this role will have operational responsibility for a portfolio of residential, supported living and outreach services across Sussex. You will provide visible leadership to Service Managers and their teams, ensuring services are safe, effective, person-centred and consistently aligned with Aspens' values.

This is an opportunity to make a real impact—shaping the future of our services, inspiring high-performing teams, and ensuring every person we support receives exceptional care, regardless of where they live or who is supporting them.

If you're ready to shape the future of social care and be part of an ambitious organisation dedicated to improving lives, we'd love to hear from you. Join us and help lead the next stage of the Aspens journey.
