Lead Services That Make a Difference
At Aspens Charities, we're passionate about empowering people with autism, learning disabilities and complex needs to live fulfilling, independent lives. We're now looking for an experienced and inspiring leader to join us as our Accommodation & Community Services Lead for Kent.

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.

This is an opportunity to make a real impact: empowering teams, sharing best practice, strengthening governance, 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, inspire others, 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.

About the Role:
Reporting to the Head of Kent, you'll provide leadership and oversight across a portfolio of community services, ensuring they are safe, high quality, financially sustainable and fully compliant with regulatory requirements.

Working closely with Service Managers, you'll drive continuous improvement, champion Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), lead on safeguarding and quality assurance, and help shape the future development of services across the region.

Lead and support Service Managers across residential, supported living and outreach services.
Drive operational excellence, ensuring services consistently deliver outstanding outcomes.
Promote person-centred, strengths-based and neuro-affirming practice.
Lead on safeguarding, risk management and quality assurance.
Support services through CQC inspections and continuous improvement initiatives.
Monitor performance, budgets and service quality across multiple locations.
Build positive relationships with commissioners, regulators and external stakeholders.
Contribute to service development, sustainability and future growth opportunities.
Foster a positive, inclusive culture where colleagues feel empowered to succeed.

About You:

You'll be an experienced leader within adult social care who enjoys supporting others to thrive and is passionate about delivering exceptional services.

You'll bring:

A Level 5 Leadership & Management qualification in Health & Social Care (or equivalent experience).
Significant experience managing regulated community services.
Experience leading managers across multiple locations.
Strong knowledge of CQC standards, safeguarding and relevant legislation.
Experience managing budgets and service performance.
Excellent leadership, communication and decision-making skills.
A passion for person-centred, rights-based support and continuous improvement.
An understanding of autism, learning disabilities, mental health and Positive Behaviour Support.

What We Offer:

· Comprehensive paid training and excellent career progression opportunities, including recognised qualifications in health and social care

· Paid DBS check

· Flexible work arrangements, with the option to take on additional bank shifts

· Nest Pension and Death in Service benefit

· Access to a dedicated Employee Assistance Programme and Mental Health First Aiders
