At Look Ahead, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a safe, fulfilling, and independent life. As Managing Director of Learning Disability & Autism (LD&A) you'll play a pivotal role in making that vision a reality for over 1,100 people across London and the South East.

This newly created role isn't just about leading a business unit, it's about championing voice, choice and independence. You'll drive forward a specialist care portfolio built on compassion, innovation and inclusion; ensuring every service we deliver is shaped by what matters most to the people we support.

Your impact will include:

  • Shaping and delivering a bold, values-led strategy for LD&A services
  • Embedding Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) and trauma-informed practice across all teams
  • Ensuring services are safe, high-quality, and deeply person-centred
  • Leading compliance, safeguarding, and CQC excellence
  • Empowering staff to thrive in a culture of trust, learning, and professional development
  • Building trusted relationships with customers, families, commissioners and sector leaders

We're looking for a strategic, emotionally intelligent leader who can balance operational excellence with purpose-driven leadership. You'll bring senior experience from within health, social care, or related sectors, and a deep belief in the power of co-production and customer voice.

Why join Look Ahead?

This is your opportunity to:

  • Lead a growing, specialist division at a crucial moment of transformation
  • Be part of an inclusive, values-led organisation with a mission to build better lives
  • Work with passionate colleagues who care deeply about delivering exceptional outcomes

If you're ready to lead with empathy, deliver with integrity, and make a meaningful difference every day - we'd love to hear from you.
