• Provide strategic leadership and management to the home.
• Ensure full compliance with OFSTED regulations and quality standards.
• Lead, develop, and support a team of care professionals.
• Implement and oversee care plans tailored to individual needs.
• Promote a robust culture of safeguarding and emotional well-being.
• Effectively manage budgets, resources, and operational responsibilities.
• Build strong relationships with external agencies, families, and the local community.

What we're looking for:

• A Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare (or a willingness to work towards it).
• Proven experience as a Registered Manager or Deputy Manager in a children's residential setting.
• Strong knowledge of OFSTED regulations and quality standards.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and organisational skills.
• A genuine passion for making a difference in the lives of young people.
• The ability to work flexibly and adapt to the needs of the home.

We offer a starting salary of £40,000, which is negotiable based on your experience, plus annual bonuses tied to company performance.
