This is a Registered Manager opportunity within a provider that places genuine emphasis on ethos, culture and doing things properly. The home is already established, giving you the stability of an existing service, while still offering the opportunity to shape and influence its next phase.
You’ll be supported by Directors who are experienced in residential childcare and can evidence strong outcomes for young people. This is not a standalone role – it sits within a structure designed to support, guide and retain its leaders.

• A realistic approach to placements, currently supporting one young person for stability
• Group structure allows for a 1 week on, 5 week off on-call rota
• Focus on creating meaningful experiences for young people, including holidays and activities
• Early-stage growth, offering influence without the pressure of starting from scratch
About You:
Experience & Qualifications:
