Alongside this, you will work closely with Registered Managers and leadership teams across Blue Elephant's existing homes, providing operational support where required and gaining valuable exposure to a range of home environments. This unique opportunity will enable you to further develop your leadership, operational and regulatory knowledge, building the skills and experience required to become a successful Registered Manager.

Once the home is successfully registered with Ofsted, you will progress into the Registered Manager role, with a salary increase and full management responsibility for the home.

Build positive relationships with children, colleagues, professionals and local authorities.
Work alongside senior leaders to develop a service children are proud to call home.

What we are looking for

Significant experience in children’s residential care.
Experience as a Senior Support Worker, Team Leader, Deputy Manager or equivalent.
Strong knowledge of safeguarding, Ofsted expectations and Children’s Homes Regulations.
A confident, reflective and values-led approach to leadership.
Passion for improving outcomes for children and young people.
Ambition and readiness to progress into Registered Manager status.
Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare or equivalent.

What we offer

Salary of £35,000 to £42,000 per annum.
Salary increase upon successful Ofsted registration and appointment as Registered Manager.
A structured development pathway into registered management.
Training, mentoring and leadership support from experienced senior leaders.
Opportunities for professional progression within a growing organisation.
A supportive, values-led culture focused on children, staff and quality practice.
40-hour contract over 5 days per week, with flexibility to meet the needs of the home.
