Opportunity to lead existing homes transitioning to regulation or develop brand-new provisions
Supportive senior leadership with frontline understanding
Long-term progression opportunities within a growing organisation
Competitive salary package based on experience
We’re looking for someone with:
Experience within children’s residential care
Strong safeguarding and leadership skills
Confidence managing complex/high-risk presentations
Understanding of Ofsted expectations
Level 5 Leadership & Management (or willingness to work towards it)
This role would suit:
An experienced Registered Manager seeking a more meaningful and therapeutic model
A strong Deputy Manager ready for their next step with support behind them
