Registered Manager - Children's Residential Home, Claypole

Registered Manager - Children's Residential Home

Location: East Midlands (commutable from Nottingham and surrounding areas)

Salary: £59,000 - £63,000 including bonus

I'm working with a provider who is doing things properly. Not rushed. Not reactive. Not firefighting.

They've built a small group of homes with the right infrastructure behind them, and they're now looking for a Registered Manager to take ownership of one of their services.

This isn't about walking into chaos and fixing problems. It's about building something you can be proud of from day one.

The Role

You will have full responsibility for the day-to-day running of the home, with a clear focus on:

• Creating a stable, values-led culture
• Leading, developing and retaining your team
• Ensuring the home is always inspection-ready
• Delivering high standards of care and safeguarding

You will be supported by an experienced senior team who understand what good looks like and give you the space to deliver it.

The Home

• Small residential setting
• Supporting young people with EBD and/or complex needs
• Strong backing and realistic expectations
• No unrealistic “fix it overnight” pressure

What They Are Looking For

• Experience in children’s residential care
• Strong leadership and team-building capability
• A clear understanding of Ofsted and regulatory expectations
• Either already registered or ready to step up

They're open to strong Deputy Managers who are genuinely ready for their first Registered Manager role.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Proper support from senior leadership
• A chance to build a team the right way
• Stability and long-term opportunity
• A provider who values quality over quick wins

Requirements

• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare (or working towards)
• Proven experience managing a children’s residential service
• Strong knowledge of safeguarding and child protection
• Ability to lead teams and manage complex behaviours
• Confident in report writing and regulatory compliance
• Full UK driving licence
• Flexible and resilient approach
