We're hiring: Manager of a single person service
Location: Rainham, Kent (in the person’s home)
Hours: Full-time, 39hrs per week
Salary: £37,080 per annum
Closing Date: 20th March 2026

We’re looking for a Manager to lead a team working with a man who has complex support needs in his own home in Rainham, Kent. This is an opportunity to ensure the individual has a good quality of life and has a range of community opportunities through the delivery of high quality and specialist support around him.
About the Service
You’ll manage a team supporting an adult male with severe learning disabilities and pica. He enjoys activities like swimming, walking, bowling, meals out, and visits to the local pub. He works closely with his team to stay engaged in daily life. Some challenges may arise, reflected in his behaviour, so his environment must prioritise safety.
What You’ll Do
As a Manager, you’ll play a key role in shaping a positive, empowering environment with a focus on achieving positive outcomes whilst working in partnership with the individual's family.
You’ll inspire and mentor your team to deliver person-centred support, using Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) and Active Support to promote participation in meaningful activities and relationships.
You’ll oversee all operational aspects, including rotas, safeguarding, compliance, and support planning, whilst working closely with relevant professionals.
Above all, you’ll champion a culture of dignity, inclusion, and high standards in everything we do.
What We’re Looking For
We’re searching for a Manager who brings energy, positivity, and a proactive approach to the role. You’ll have experience in coaching and developing teams, with strong practice leadership skills to ensure the highest standards of support.
You should understand alternative communication systems, such as Sign-a-long, and know how to balance safety with positive risk-taking.
A solid understanding of legal frameworks, including DoLS, capacity, and best interest requirements is essential.
Why Join Avenues?
