The Vision

We're seeking an experienced Registered Manager to play a pivotal role in opening a brand-new, 3-bed children's home for a newly established UK-based children's residential provider.

We aren't looking for someone to simply "maintain" an existing service - instead you'll be instrumental in establishing a new care provider by helping build and run the service, long-term. This is a rare opportunity to influence the design, the team, and the culture of a home before the first child even walks through the door.

Key Responsibilities

• Commissioning & Compliance: Lead the home through the final stages of Ofsted registration, ensuring all policies and environmental standards meet "Outstanding" criteria.
• Leadership & Culture: Recruit, mentor, and inspire a brand-new staff team, fostering a culture of empathy, clinical excellence, and mutual respect.
• Child-Centered Care: Develop bespoke care and support plans that prioritize the rights, voices, and individual needs of every child.
• Operational Excellence: Manage the home's budget, conduct rigorous quality audits, and maintain high-level safeguarding protocols..

Requirements

• Proven Track Record: Substantial experience managing a residential children's home (Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management is essential).
• Setup Experience: Ideally, you have experience opening a new home or taking a service through an Ofsted registration process.
• Specialist Knowledge: A deep understanding of learning disabilities, trauma-informed care, and current safeguarding legislation.
• Communication: Exceptional ability to advocate for children and lead a team through the pressures of a new startup.

About You

The team are looking for a leader who stays when things get difficult - someone who views this not as a job, but as a long-term commitment to changing life trajectories. Ideally, you'll have have previous experience in opening new homes, and delivering quality care to vulnerable children.

The service are looking to build a rewarding position for the right applicant.

What's on offer:

• Above-Average Salary: The provider values expertise and are willing to compensate accordingly.
• Bi-Annual Bonuses: Linked to home performance and Ofsted outcomes.
• Company Car: Access to a company vehicle once the home is established.
• Autonomy: The freedom to implement your style and management philosophy.
