Registered Manager – Children's Residential Home
£55,000–£65,000 DOE + Annual Performance Bonus + Joining Bonus
Permanent | Full Time | Wirral
This isn't a home you'll inherit. It's one you'll help build.
Renewed Hope Ltd is looking for an experienced and ambitious Registered Manager to lead our first children's residential home in Wirral.
We also welcome applications from experienced Deputy Managers ready to take the next step, including those currently working towards their Level 5.
Our home will support a maximum of three children, allowing us to provide genuinely individualised care in a warm, stable and family-style environment.
You'll be supported throughout registration by our Directors and a highly experienced Responsible Individual with a strong track record of successful Ofsted registrations. You won't be expected to navigate the process alone.
Why Renewed Hope?
We're building Renewed Hope from the ground up and want our first Registered Manager to be an important part of that journey.
You'll have the opportunity to:
- Help shape the home from the beginning
- Recruit and develop your own staff team
- Create the culture you want to lead
- Work directly with supportive Directors and an experienced RI
- Have genuine autonomy and a voice in how the service develops
- Progress into senior leadership as Renewed Hope grows
We don't want to become an organisation where people feel like numbers. We want to know our team, listen to their ideas and give ambitious people genuine opportunities to progress.
The Role
As Registered Manager, you'll work alongside our RI and Directors during registration before taking responsibility for the day-to-day leadership of the home.
You'll be responsible for:
- Supporting the Ofsted registration and opening of the home
- Recruiting, leading and developing your staff team
- Maintaining compliance with Children's Homes Regulations 2015 and Quality Standards
- Leading safeguarding, risk management and quality assurance
- Building positive relationships with Ofsted, Local Authorities and professionals
- Promoting trauma-informed, child-centred practice
- Ensuring children receive individualised, high-quality care
- Promoting education, wellbeing, independence and positive outcomes
Above everything else, we want our children to feel that they live in their home – not that they have been placed in a service.
Who We're Looking For
You will have:
- Registered Manager or experienced Deputy Manager experience within children's residential care
- Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare, be currently working towards it, or be eligible to complete it within regulatory timescales
- Good knowledge of Children's Homes Regulations 2015 and Quality Standards
- Strong safeguarding knowledge
- Experience leading and developing staff
- Understanding of Ofsted requirements
- Full UK Driving Licence
- Enhanced DBS or willingness to obtain one
Experience with Ofsted registration, PACE, therapeutic or trauma-informed practice is desirable but not essential.
Your Future With Renewed Hope
We're not simply recruiting a manager for one home. We're looking for someone who could become one of the future leaders of Renewed Hope.
As we expand, we want to promote from within wherever possible:
Registered Manager → Operations Manager → Regional/Group Operations → Operations Director
If you have the ability and ambition to progress, we'll invest in helping you get there.
What We Offer
- £55,000–£65,000 DOE
- Annual performance bonus
- Competitive joining bonus
- Company pension
- Fully funded training and professional development
- Paid DBS and ongoing CPD
- Experienced RI support
- Direct access to Directors
- Maximum three-child home
- Opportunity to build your own team
- Genuine autonomy
- Clear senior leadership progression
- Free on-site parking
- Sick pay
- Company events
- Referral programme
Start Date
We're looking to appoint as soon as possible, but finding the right person is more important to us than finding the quickest person.
We understand strong candidates may already be employed and have notice periods, and we're happy to agree a suitable start date.
Whether you're an established Registered Manager looking for more autonomy or an experienced Deputy ready for your first Registered Manager position, we'd love to hear from you.
Come and build it with us.
