Crynodeb
Elwood Recruitment are working in partnership with an emerging children’s residential care provider to recruit an experienced Registered Manager for a newly established children’s home supporting young people with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD).
This is a rare opportunity to be the first Registered Manager of a service, giving the successful candidate real autonomy to shape the culture, standards, and operational approach from day one, ahead of its first Ofsted inspection which is a very exciting aspect of this role.
The Role
As Registered Manager, you will have full responsibility for the day-to-day leadership and regulatory compliance of the home, ensuring high-quality, child-centred care and positive outcomes for young people.
Key responsibilities include:
• Registering the service with Ofsted and preparing for inspection
• Ensuring compliance with all relevant legislation, regulations and quality standards
• Recruiting, leading, developing and retaining a motivated staff team
• Implementing robust safer recruitment, induction and supervision processes
• Developing and overseeing care plans, staff rotas and budgets
• Working closely with social workers, local authorities, families and external professionals
• Creating a positive, stable and nurturing environment for children and young people
About You
You will be a confident, values-led leader with a genuine passion for children’s residential care.
Essential requirements:
• Minimum 2 years’ experience as a Registered Manager in a children’s residential setting
• Experience working with children with EBD
• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management
• Strong knowledge of Ofsted regulations and quality frameworks
• Proven ability to lead, motivate and develop teams
Desirable:
• Experience managing a service through Ofsted inspections
• Commercial awareness and confidence contributing to service development
• Ability to commute within a reasonable distance of the home
What’s on Offer
• Competitive salary with flexibility for outstanding candidates
• Performance bonuses:
o £2,000 for Ofsted Good
o £4,000 for Ofsted Outstanding
o Staff retention bonuses available
• Pension scheme
• Flexible working options
• Annual salary review
• Ongoing training and development (including specialist courses)
• Blue Light Card and staff discount schemes
• Free parking
• Clear long-term progression opportunities as the organisation grows
Why Apply?
This role is ideal for a Registered Manager who wants more than just “running a service” - it offers the chance to build something meaningful, influence the long-term direction of the organisation, and progress into senior or operational roles as the provider expands.
