Oftsed Registered Manager

Registered Manager - Brand New Children's LD Service - Up to £60,000
Location: Preston
Contract Type: Full-time / Permanent
Salary: Up to £60,000 per annum (DOE)

My client is launching a brand new supported living service in the picturesque village outside of Preston - and we're looking for an experienced, values-led Registered Manager (or a Deputy Manager ready to step up) to lead it from the ground up.

This is a rare opportunity to take full ownership of a calm, settled and small-scale service - without the pressures of high-risk behaviours or large team dynamics.

You'll be leading a warm, low-intensity setting supporting just three well-behaved children all with learning disabilities.
There are no challenging behaviours, giving you the space to focus on quality care and genuine relationship-building, rather than crisis management.

This is ideal for someone who thrives in a structured, person-centred environment - where progress is measured in meaningful, everyday moments.

• Salary up to £60,000 per annum
  Your leadership experience will be truly valued - and rewarded competitively.

• Established provider with full clinical and operational support
  You'll never feel like you're going it alone - we're here to help you succeed from day one.

• 33 days annual leave (including Bank Holidays)
  Prioritise your own wellbeing while supporting others.

• Free gym membership + full benefits package
  Because your health and balance matter too.

• Stunning rural location
  A peaceful setting with excellent potential for outdoor activities and therapeutic routines.

1-3 years' experience supporting children with Learning Disabilities and/or residential care
You've worked closely with young people and understand the importance of consistency, structure, and emotional safety.
Experience setting up or running a service

• Or, you're a capable Deputy Manager who's ready to step into something bigger.

Strong working knowledge of OFSTED frameworks

• You understand what good looks like - and how to deliver it.

QCF Level 5 (or working towards)

• Not essential, but required for top-end salary and registration.

Driver's licence

• Due to the location and community-based nature of the role.

We believe in giving our leaders the trust and tools to do the job well. This isn't just another Registered Manager role - it's a chance to shape a service from the start, with a calm, child-focused environment and a strong foundation of support behind you.
