We are now looking for a new Service Manager at our recently opened (July 2023) 15-bedded mental health service in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex. This service has been flying high, with 13 of 15 rooms filled, the final 2 placements expected soon, a full staff team in place, an excellent Deputy Manager, and a huge amount of support from East Sussex County Council. The service was inspected by CQC in the autumn of 2024 and received a rating of Good.
We are seeking an experienced Manager (who is, or who has previously held, CQC Registered Manager status) to join our rapidly growing organisation to lead and manage this service.

* Able to reliably commute to Bexhill-on-Sea, daily
* Experience of mental health care provision (e.g. personality disorders, bipolar disorder, EUPD, schizophrenia etc). Experience of challenging clients in the Learning Disabilities space will be considered for candidates who may not have significant experience of mental health clients.
