Are you an experienced Children's Home Deputy Manager looking for the opportunity to step up and wanting a new challenge to build and lead a brand-new service from the very beginning?
We are recruiting for a passionate, ambitious and child-focused Registered Manager to oversee the registration, launch and ongoing development of a new 4-bed children's residential home. This is a rare opportunity to shape the culture, recruit your own team and create an outstanding service that delivers life-changing outcomes for children and young people.
About the Service
Our new home has been designed to provide a safe, nurturing and supportive environment for children and young people who may present with emotional and behavioural difficulties, alongside a range of additional needs. The service specialises in supporting young people with:
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)
Moderate and Severe Learning Disabilities
Mild Physical Disabilities
The home's philosophy is centred around helping young people develop independence, confidence and life skills, enabling them to achieve their full potential and become valued members of their communities.
Operating from a beautifully refurbished, spacious property in a peaceful setting, the home offers an exceptional environment for both children and staff.
The Opportunity
This is much more than a Registered Manager position.
You will become the founding leader of a new service, working alongside a highly experienced Responsible Individual and supportive leadership team who are committed to investing in quality care and long-term growth. The organisation has plans to expand over the next 18-24 months, creating genuine opportunities for future progression and wider operational leadership.

£5,000 bonus upon successful Ofsted registration
£1,000 occupancy bonus per child placed
Opportunity to shape the service from day one

Supportive and collaborative senior leadership team
Key Responsibilities
Lead the home through Ofsted registration and opening
Develop a positive, child-centred culture focused on outstanding outcomes
Recruit, develop and lead a high-performing staff team
Ensure compliance with Children's Homes Regulations and Quality Standards
Develop policies, procedures and operational systems
Maintain strong relationships with local authorities, families and professionals
Drive quality, occupancy and service performance
Work closely with senior leadership to support future growth
Mentor and develop future leaders within the organisation

To be considered, you will:
Have experience as a Deputy Manager within an Ofsted-regulated children's residential service
Hold, or be working towards, a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare
Possess a strong understanding of children's home regulations and Ofsted requirements
Be a visible, hands-on leader who leads by example
Be committed to delivering exceptional outcomes for children and young people
Have strong recruitment, people management and team development skills
Be proactive, solution-focused and commercially aware
Have excellent communication and relationship-building abilities
Why Apply?
This is a genuine opportunity to build something special.
If you are an experienced Deputy Manager who values autonomy, wants to be part of an exciting growth journey and is passionate about creating exceptional care environments for children and young people, we would love to hear from you.
