About The Company
Salutem Supported Living North are recruiting for a Service Manager to oversee services in Morecambe and Preston.

The role covers a 7-bed service in Morecambe, a single occupancy service in Heysham and a single occupancy service in Leyland near Preston.
We are looking for a strong and experienced manager to drive forward our services, the development of our staff teams and achieve even greater outcomes for the people that we support.

All of the individuals we support live a vibrant, fun packed and busy life. Our Morecambe services are a five minute walk from Morecambe Promenade where we visit often to enjoy fish and chips or an ice cream or even dip your toes in the sea! All of our services are on local transport routes, which means there are no barriers to what the individuals we support can achieve.
The individuals we support here at Regent Road are always busy and love getting up to new things! Whether this is winning a round or two at the local bowling alley or spending time with an individual who is a keen artist, to playing, scrabble, dominoes and computer games or supporting an individual to have a pamper and getting her nails done! We all love heading out into the community, whether that be to go swimming, visit the football club, the local library or to watch the next best movies in the cinema!
If you’re looking for a job that’s meaningful where you can make a difference - then it’s time to apply and to meet the Salutem Supported Living North family!
At Salutem Care and Education, we recognize the value and wisdom that come from all stages of life. Join our team to be a part of a community that truly appreciates the richness of age diversity.
Applications are welcome from all, however a driver is preferred due to the geographical nature of the role.
