We’re Affinity Trust, a national charity founded on inclusion, courage, and community. Right now, we’re passionate about bringing our person-centred support to Preston, and we need a bold, values-driven Operations Manager like you to turn that vision into reality.
Your mission (should you choose to accept it)
You’ll be the CQC Registered Manager and the founding force behind a new supported living team. That means:
- Making sure the people who draw on our support have safe and consistent support which is always shaped around the person
- Ensuring the people who draw on our support receive amazing, safe, and consistent support which is always shaped around the person.

If you've ever thought "we could do this so much better..." this is your moment to prove it and create something truly impactful.

- You’re setting the culture, not adopting it.
- You’ll shape the support we provide, transforming it into something genuine and impactful, not slot into routine.
