Are you an experienced Registered Manager working with multiple sites, looking for a new and exciting challenge? Do you have strong PBS knowledge and experience? Do you have a record of empowering staff to achieve under pressure? If the answer is "Yes" then this is an opportunity to put yourself in the spotlight.

Warwick Manor is a large attractive period property which has been fully refurbished in 2018. Each resident has their own well-appointed studio or one bedroomed apartment providing greater independence and the opportunity to develop life skills. The service also offers access to the generous gardens and to a warm communal flat where service users can go if they wish to socialise or need a bit of extra support 24/7.

Shakespeare House is a fully refurbished detached home completed in 2020 andconsists of five spacious rooms. The home has been fitted specifically to support those with learning disabilities and has a warm communal lounge, extended kitchen, ensuite bathrooms and generous gardens, as well as sensory and “chill out” activity rooms. Shakespeare House is specifically designed for people looking to explore the care pathway to greater levels of independence. The service delivers an intensive supported living model of care to ensure that residents have access to excellent levels of high-quality care and support with the independence of a supported living scheme.

Both services are situated in a leafy residential area of the market town of Bedford close to shops, cafes, restaurants, entertainment and community activities, including swimming, and many of Bedford's beautiful parks. There are transport links, including a short direct bus route into the centre of Bedford. This ensures service users are able to create positive links with the local and wider community in Bedford.
