Job Description

Director of Operations & Registered Manager

50,000 base salary + 10% equity (Realistic 240k+ Future Earnings)

South Wales | Fully Funded Venture

If you already run complex, multi-site care services, you'll know how rare it is to find a role that gives you real ownership. This is that opportunity. We are creating a new group of autism day centres and bespoke residential homes across South Wales. We need an experienced leader who can build and scale the entire service line from day one.

This is not a step-up role. It's a director-level position with autonomy, equity, and full investment behind you.

Why Senior Operators Will Be Interested

You gain equity with genuine long-term earning potential.

You build the operating model from scratch.

You have full financial backing for sites, compliance and specialist support.

You set the quality standard and shape the culture.

You help build a multi-site care group with real capital value.

Your Responsibilities

Launch the autism day centre and become CIW Registered Manager.

Create operational systems, governance and compliance frameworks.

Lead tender applications, contract negotiations and commissioner engagement.

Identify new opportunities, locations and service models.

Open multiple day centres and 4-7 bed residential homes.

Recruit, manage and develop managers and frontline teams.

Oversee financial performance, viability and occupancy.

Drive the long-term expansion strategy across South Wales.

What You Bring

Operational Manager, Regional Manager or Head of Service background.

Experience running multi-site regulated care settings (autism, LD, residential or supported living).

Deep knowledge of CIW regulation and legal structures.

Proven success with tenders, contracts and local authority negotiations.

Strong financial understanding: capacity, fees, budgets, margins.

A strong commissioner network across South Wales.

Values-led leadership: excellence, education, compassion, empowerment.

What We Offer

50k base salary.

High-value equity with realistic earnings of 240k+ as the group grows.

All start-up and growth costs fully funded.

Additional consultants, legal and compliance support provided.

Clear trajectory toward Director of Operations or Regional Director as sites open.

Who This Role Is For

Experienced operators who want ownership, not another operational post.

Leaders who understand the market and can convert opportunities into contracts.

Professionals who want to build a modern care group with their name on it.

People who want long-term value creation, not just a salary.

If you have the track record and ambition to build a new care group from the ground up, we want to speak with you.
