Job Description
Job title: Registered Manager – Fostering (IFA)
Salary: £60,000 – £70,000 + Bonus
Location: Warwickshire & West Mids / Home-based
Contract: Permanent | Full-time (flexible part time start considered as agency grows)
Sector: Social Care / Children's Services
About the role
Pioneer Talent is recruiting a Registered Manager for a Good-rated independent fostering agency based in Warwickshire. This is a rare opportunity to take genuine ownership of an Ofsted-registered IFA at a pivotal point in its growth.
We are looking for an RM who will run the service as their own (with loads of support!), grow the carer base across the Mids and lead the agency toward Outstanding.
The role is largely home-based with Teams-based team meetings, in a trust-based, flexible working arrangement. A part-time start scaling to full-time is available for the right candidate.
Key responsibilities
* Hold Ofsted registration as RM of the IFA
* Own and maintain full regulatory compliance — Fostering Services Regulations 2011, National Minimum Standards, Children Act
* Oversee the SSW team: carer supervision, safeguarding, allegations, complaints, matching
* Quality-assure assessments, reviews and panel documentation
* Drive carer recruitment, assessment, approval and retention
* Lead team meetings and reflective practice
* Provide management reporting to the RI and board on placements, compliance and carer pipeline
* Champion the cultural and community-rooted identity of the provider
About you
Essential:
* Qualified social worker, registered with Social Work England
* Eligible to register with Ofsted as RM of an Independent Fostering Agency
* IFA experience at RM, Deputy or senior Team Manager level
* Confident regulatory knowledge — Fostering Services Regulations, NMS, Children Act
* Self-managing, autonomous working style suited to a remote/hybrid role
* Values-led, warm and emotionally intelligent — a natural fit for a small, passionate team
* Committed to a long-term role; this is not a stepping-stone position
Considered:
* Strong Deputies or Team Managers ready to step up into Ofsted RM registration for the first time
Salary and package
Approx £60,000 – £70,000 depending on experience, plus bonus. Salary will be reflective of established RMs and step-up candidates.
