Full job description

“In our Fort Care Services, young people embrace their tomorrow with confidence.”

Job Overview
Fort Care Services is looking for an experienced Responsible Individual to provide part-time governance, regulatory oversight, and strategic support across our children’s residential homes.

This is an important role for someone who understands Ofsted expectations, children’s home governance, and the need for strong, visible leadership. You will work directly with the Directors and Registered Managers, providing clear oversight, challenge, support, and practical guidance to help strengthen the service and prepare for future inspection.

The role is expected to be around 4 days per month, with flexibility around which days are worked. The arrangement can be structured either as part-time employment or consultancy, depending on the successful candidate’s preference and suitability

About Us

Fort Care Services is a growing provider of therapeutic residential care for children and young people aged 7–17. We aim to provide safe, stable, nurturing, and healing environments where children can grow, build resilience, and thrive.

Our model is rooted in trauma-informed and person-centred practice, with a strong focus on safeguarding, leadership, quality assurance, and continuous improvement.

Your Role

As the Responsible Individual, you will provide governance and strategic oversight across the organisation’s children’s homes. You will work closely with the Directors and Registered Managers to ensure the homes are operating in line with Ofsted expectations, The Children’s Homes (England) Regulations 2015, SCCIF, and the Quality Standards.

Turning audit findings and feedback into practical, time-bound improvement plans
Holding structured governance meetings with Directors and Registered Managers
Visiting the homes regularly and providing clear, honest feedback

Strengthening governance systems, leadership oversight, and management accountability
Ensuring that the organisation has a clear improvement plan and a strong evidence base for inspection
Promoting a culture of openness, accountability, reflection, and continuous improvement

Ability to challenge Registered Managers constructively while maintaining strong working relationships
Confidence in reviewing reports, audits, records, care planning, risk management, and quality assurance systems
Strong written reporting and governance skills
Ability to work within a small, owner-led provider where honesty, visibility, and accountability are important
Flexibility to attend the homes in person on a regular basis
Being within sensible travelling distance of Milton Keynes is important, as regular and meaningful home visits will be required

Qualifications and Experience

Essential:

Minimum 3 years’ experience in residential children Home
Strong understanding of children’s home leadership and governance

Part-time employment or self-employed consultancy arrangement, open to discussion
Direct access to engaged Director who want proper RI input
Real influence over governance, leadership, management, and quality assurance
Opportunity to support and shape a growing children’s residential care provider
