Deputy Manager - Complex Residential Service

Compass Associates is proud to partner with a well-established national charity in their search for a Deputy Manager to lead within a specialist complex care residential service. The organisation has been supporting people to lead fulfilling lives for over 140 years, with a person-centred approach tailored to individual needs, wishes, and aspirations. 100% of their autism services hold National Autistic Society accreditation, providing assurance that they deliver exceptional outcomes for autistic people. This is a settled, high-performing service rated Good with Outstanding features by CQC following its first inspection. The organisation is actively expanding its complex care provision, with approximately six new services in development, creating real pathways for career progression. The charity also runs an Aspiring Leaders Programme, designed for people looking to advance into leadership and management roles, reflecting a genuine commitment to developing talent from within. The Deputy Manager will take full responsibility for the day-to-day management of the service, supporting the Service Manager to drive quality, compliance, and staff performance. This is a management-heavy role; the successful candidate will spend the majority of their time on staff oversight, compliance monitoring, and quality assurance rather than direct support work.
