We're looking for someone who doesn't just manage a service, but who builds a home where adults can truly thrive and enjoy real living. Amethyst is a family-run provider with 18 years of experience in South Wales. We're currently looking for a Home Manager to join our team across Barry and Bridgend. We have five registered homes in the area, with a brand-new home opening soon. If you're looking for an established, secure, and homely working environment where your ideas count, we'd love to chat.

About Amethyst At Amethyst, we support adults aged 18 and over with a wide range of needs. Our trusted team works with individuals affected by learning disabilities, autism and associated conditions, epilepsy, physical health needs, dementia (including younger onset), eating disorders like Prader-Willi Syndrome, Down’s syndrome, mental health needs, sensory impairments, and alcohol or drug misuse. We're not your typical corporate provider; we're independent and family-led, which means we're adaptive, versatile, and deeply committed to our residents and teams. We believe in professional growth and high standards. Because we're expanding, you'll have genuine opportunities to develop your career as a Home Manager. We’re proud of our high staff retention and our ability to provide tailored care that focuses on the wishes, choices, and long-term goals of every resident we support. About Our Home Our homes are spacious, bright, and homely properties located in quiet residential areas. Typically, we have three to four residents living in each home. They're designed to be a home from home where our residents require a range of assistance and are both encouraged to be, and enjoy being, part of the local community. Whether it’s going out for lunches, coffee, adventure activities, or overseas holidays, we want you to help our residents to grow and thrive as the individuals they are. We're looking for a Home Manager who's passionate about facilitating these experiences and ensuring our homes remain comfortable, safe, and welcoming environments for everyone. The Role: What you'll be doing As a Home Manager, your primary focus will be on quality, regulatory compliance, and team direction. You'll need to achieve a balance between offering a supportive environment and maintaining required regulatory compliance, always striving towards excellence. Your day-to-day will involve: ● Quality Leadership: Setting and maintaining high standards of planned care for our residents. ● Team Development: Providing support, motivation, and direction to your staff team. ● Operational Oversight: Managing resources, budgets, and rotas to ensure the most positive outcomes for our residents. ● Regulatory Compliance: Leading responses to inspections and audits, ensuring all staff comply with their code of conduct and the Active Offer (Welsh language) standards. ● Community Engagement: Encouraging residents to be active in the local community and supporting their personal choices. Your Experience and Qualifications Essential: ● The Background: Established management experience within adult health, social, or nursing care. The ability to manage multi-site services (no more than two homes). ● Qualifications: Level 5 qualified (or very close to completion) in Leadership and Management for Health and Social Care. ● The Approach: A proactive, resilient leader who's approachable and culturally sensitive. You're a solution-focused manager who can balance empathy without compromising on quality. ● Tech Savvy: Confident using Microsoft packages and digital record-keeping software. ● Logistics: A full UK Driving Licence is essential for this role.
