This Registered Manager role gives you full operational ownership of a two-bed home supporting young people with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties and Learning Disabilities.

• Ofsted-related performance bonuses.
• Full-time, Monday to Friday working pattern.
About the Company

Key Responsibilities
• Provide registered management of the children’s home, ensuring full regulatory compliance and positive Ofsted outcomes.
• Lead, support, and develop a stable staff team to deliver high-quality, child-centred care.
• Maintain effective safeguarding, quality assurance, and operational oversight across the service.
• Support the strategic development of the home, including preparation for future dual registration.
About You

• Experience as a Registered Manager or Deputy Manager within a children’s residential setting.
• Strong working knowledge of Ofsted regulations and inspection frameworks.
