Apply NowWe’re looking for an experienced and passionate Registered Manager to join a new and growing children’s residential service.
This is an opportunity for someone who genuinely cares about children’s residential care and wants to play a key role in creating a home where children feel safe, valued, supported and able to thrive.
The service has a strong focus on therapeutic care, emotional wellbeing and enrichment, with the belief that children deserve more than just good care — they deserve positive experiences, opportunities and people around them who genuinely believe in them.
The role
As Registered Manager, you’ll have a key role in shaping the home, developing the team and embedding a strong culture from the outset.
You’ll be responsible for:
* Creating a warm, nurturing and child-centred environment
* Leading and developing a committed staff team
* Promoting a therapeutic and trauma-informed approach
* Working alongside therapeutic support to understand and meet each child’s individual needs
* Creating meaningful enrichment activities and experiences
* Supporting children to build confidence, independence and resilience
* Developing positive relationships with children, families and professionals
* Maintaining high standards of safeguarding, care and compliance
* Ensuring the home operates in line with Ofsted regulations and best practice
* Driving strong outcomes for the children in your care
About you
We’re looking for someone who sees children’s residential care as more than just a job.
You’ll be an experienced Registered Manager who understands the responsibility that comes with leading a home and, most importantly, genuinely cares about the children and young people you support.
To be considered, you’ll need:
* A minimum of 2 years' experience as a Registered Manager within children's residential care
* A good track record with Ofsted inspections
* Strong knowledge of the Children's Homes Regulations and Quality Standards
* A relevant Level 5 qualification in Leadership & Management, or equivalent
* Experience leading, developing and motivating a team
* A strong understanding of therapeutic and trauma-informed approaches
* Excellent safeguarding knowledge
* A genuine passion for improving outcomes for children
The kind of person we're looking for
We’re looking for a manager who believes that the little things matter.
Someone who will celebrate a child's achievements, encourage them to try something new, listen when they need someone to talk to and make sure they have opportunities to simply enjoy being a child.
You’ll be someone who wants to build a positive culture, not just manage a service. Someone who leads by example and wants the home to be somewhere that children genuinely feel safe, respected and at home.
Why this opportunity?
Joining a new service gives you the opportunity to have a genuine influence from the beginning.
You’ll be able to help shape the culture, develop your team and contribute to creating a home built around strong values, therapeutic support and meaningful experiences for children.
If you’re an experienced Registered Manager with a strong Ofsted track record and you’re looking for a role where your values genuinely align with the service, we’d love to hear from you.
