With the launch of our brand-new children’s residential home, we are looking for a passionate and experienced Registered Manager to lead the service and grow with us.
This is an exciting opportunity to shape a new home from the ground up, with clear potential to dual-register in the future and access wider progression across our expanding company.
The Role
As the Registered Manager, you will:
- Take full responsibility for the day-to-day running of the children’s home.
- Ensure the home is compliant with Ofsted regulations and consistently achieves positive inspection outcomes.

- Create and maintain a child-focused culture that promotes safeguarding, emotional wellbeing, and personal development.
- Build strong relationships with local authorities, stakeholders, and the wider community.
- Drive continuous improvement and contribute to the growth of the organisation.

- At least 2 years’ experience in a children’s residential setting, with 1 year in a supervisory/management role.
- Strong knowledge of Ofsted regulations and safeguarding legislation.
- Excellent leadership, communication, and organisational skills.
- Passion for providing high-quality, child-centred care.
Desirable:
- Experience of registering a new home with Ofsted.
- Ambition to grow into a dual-registration role and beyond.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary with performance-related incentives.

- Ongoing professional development and training.
- Real career progression opportunities, including dual registration and senior management roles as we expand.
- A chance to make your mark on a brand-new home and build a legacy of excellence.
