Business Development Manager – Adult Social Care

Business Development Manager – Adult Social Care

Residential & Supported Living Services

Hybrid/Remote: South Wales, South West & South Coast

£50,000 – £55,000 + Car Allowance

Compass Associates are proud to be working in partnership with one of the country’s leading providers of Adult Social Care, in their search for a Business Development Manager to support the growth of their specialist residential and supported living services across the South of England and South Wales.

This is a high-profile, strategic role that sits at the heart of the organisation’s occupancy and growth strategy — ideal for someone looking to influence service development while playing a key part in shaping how individuals with complex needs access high-quality care.

The Role:

As Business Development Manager, you’ll act as the key intermediary between local authority and ICB stakeholders and internal operations, with a focus on:

• Leading on referral and occupancy growth across a large portfolio of adult services
• Strengthening and building commissioning relationships with funders across South England and South Wales
• Acting as a commercial partner to the operational team in identifying new market opportunities
• Driving the tender and bid process, supporting the submission of compelling commercial proposals
• Supporting strategic service development, working with internal leaders to scope and shape new provision

This position is split roughly 60/40 between occupancy growth and new service development, and will suit candidates who are equally comfortable analysing data, building rapport with commissioners, and working in cross-functional environments.

About You:

You’ll be a confident and strategic communicator, likely with:

• Significant experience in business development within social care, supported housing, or healthcare
• A proven track record of improving occupancy and building referral pipelines
• A strong network of commissioning and provider contacts across the South West, South Wales, or South Coast
• Experience with service development, tenders, or contract negotiation
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
• The ability to balance home-based work with regional travel, including site visits and stakeholder meetings

Why Apply?

• Work for one of the UK’s most respected Adult Social Care providers
• High-impact role with a clear seat at the strategic table
• Flexible working model – predominantly home-based
• £50,000 – £55,000 basic salary
• £3,600 annual car allowance (or mileage flexibility)
• Bonus scheme & additional benefits
• Opportunity to grow with a forward-thinking, expanding organisation

Next Steps:

This is a rare and exciting opportunity for a commercially astute, values-led Business Development professional looking to make a real difference in adult specialist care.
