Registered Manager

Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced Registered Manager to help establish and lead a new children’s home from the beginning.

The home is not yet Ofsted registered, so the successful candidate will play a key role in setting up the service, completing the Ofsted registration process, and working closely with the Responsible Individual and directors.

You will have significant input into how the home is set up and run, including policies, procedures, systems, staff recruitment, and developing the culture of the home. As a Registered Manager, you will be the driving force behind operational excellence, team development, and compassionate care delivery.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage all aspects of setting up of the home.
• Oversee staff recruitment, training, supervision, and performance evaluations to cultivate a motivated and skilled team.
• Develop and implement care plans tailored to residents’ individual needs.
• Ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements related to children services and operations.
• Manage budgets, resource allocation, and administrative tasks to ensure smooth facility operations.

Qualifications

• Previous or current experience managing an Ofsted registered children’s home.
• Preferably, experience managing a children’s home that has undergone an Ofsted inspection during their tenure. Where an inspection report has been published, we would like to review it.
• At least two years’ relevant residential childcare experience within the last five years.
• At least one year’s experience supervising and managing staff in a care role.
• A Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare, or an appropriate equivalent qualification.
• Strong knowledge of the Children’s Homes Regulations 2015 and Quality Standards.
• Experience working with children with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD) and learning disabilities (LD).
• Strong safeguarding and child protection knowledge.
• Experience managing and developing residential childcare teams.
• The skills and experience to help lead the home through the Ofsted registration process.

Join us in making a meaningful difference by setting up and leading a team to deliver outstanding care that enriches lives every day!
