Following our recent achievement of an Outstanding CQC rating, Maximus Support Services is looking for an ambitious and inspirational Registered Manager to join our senior leadership team and help shape the next stage of our journey

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants more than simply managing a service. We are looking for a leader who wants to build something, influence positive change, support vulnerable people in meaningful ways and become part of a highly motivated and values-driven organisation.

At Maximus, we have built our organisation around a simple principle: helping people who need it most, even when others may say no. We support individuals with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs and complex needs across community-based services throughout the Isle of Wight, always focusing on opportunities, independence and outcomes.

Our work is unique, dynamic and genuinely person-centred. We are incredibly proud of the culture we have created for both the people we support and our employees. We believe in supporting our teams properly, developing people into leaders and creating an environment where staff feel valued, motivated and empowered to make a difference.

The Opportunity

You will initially work alongside our current Registered Manager, with a structured and supported pathway towards registration at the appropriate time.

Importantly, current Registered Manager is not leaving the organisation. The successful candidate will work alongside them before they transitions into a different role within the company, while continuing to provide ongoing day-to-day support and guidance to the management team.
This role would suit:

• an experienced Registered Manager looking for a fresh challenge,

• a highly experienced manager ready for the next step,

• or an exceptional leader from another care sector with strong transferable leadership skills and a passion for improving lives.

We are particularly interested in individuals who:

• build positive cultures,

• remain calm under pressure,

• are highly organised,

• can support and motivate teams,

• and genuinely care about making a difference.

About Maximus Support Services

You will be supported by:

• Nominated Individual oversight

• HR & Quality Lead

• Training Lead

• Property Lead

• Care Coordinators

• Community Seniors

• Experienced support teams

Our vision over the next five years is to continue becoming one of the leading support providers on the Isle of Wight by offering high-quality, person-centred support to more vulnerable people across the community.

What We Offer

• Salary of £45,000 – £52,000 depending on experience

• Additional paid on-call responsibilities (£210 per week on-call)

• Flexible working opportunities

• Genuine progression and career development

• Ongoing training and qualifications

• Company computer provided

• Passion for delivering outstanding, person-centred support

• Strong organisational and leadership skills

• Full UK driving licence preferred

• QCF/NVQ Level 5 in Leadership & Management desirable, or willingness to work towards this

• Commitment to maintaining high standards and positive outcomes

For the right candidate, support can be provided to help achieve driving requirements during probation if needed.

This is a rare opportunity to join an already established and successful organisation that genuinely supports both the people it works with and the teams delivering that support.
If you are ambitious, values-driven and want to be part of building something exceptional while positively changing lives every day, we would love to hear from you.
