Delivered by qualified therapists in a non-medical setting, Flourish offers an alternative to traditional hospital-based treatment.
It\’s ideal for people who don\’t need a medical detox or ongoing medical care but would benefit from structured therapy, community connection, and practical tools to achieve meaningful, sustainable recovery.
Service Manager.
This role will be responsible to oversee and direct the operations of a therapy-led residential treatment service, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for individuals struggling with addiction and in some cases neuro-diversity, while also managing colleagues, and client care.
This role will be important in ensuring that all colleagues are focused on providing positive outcomes for the people we support, in line with regulatory standards and company key performance indicators, policies and procedures.
Managing and running their service as a financially profitable and viable business that has a future for the people we support, Priory, and external stakeholders feel confident in.
Our work is rewarding but can be challenging, so resilience is key.
