Registered Manager – Children’s Home

Registered Manager – Children’s Home

Job Reference

Full Job Description

We’re recruiting an experienced Registered Manager to lead a new solo-placement children’s home in Paignton, Torbay, supporting one young person with complex needs.

This is a fantastic opportunity to take a home through Ofsted registration from the outset, build your own team and establish a strong, trauma-informed and relationship-led care environment.

The Role

• Lead the home through Ofsted registration
• Take responsibility as the Registered Manager
• Recruit, lead and develop the staff team
• Oversee the care, safety and development of one young person
• Establish care planning, risk assessment and quality assurance systems
• Work closely with social workers, commissioners, education and health professionals
• Manage the day-to-day running, rota and budget
• Prepare for and lead Ofsted inspection

We’re Looking For

• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership & Management for Residential Childcare (or equivalent/in progress)
• Previous experience as a Registered Manager, Deputy Manager or in a senior children’s residential care role
• Strong knowledge of Children’s Homes Regulations and Ofsted

Requirements

• Excellent safeguarding and leadership skills
• Experience managing and developing staff teams
• Full UK driving licence
• Eligibility to register with Ofsted as a Registered Manager

Desirable: Experience taking a home through Ofsted registration, or working with solo placements / young people with complex needs.

Why choose this role!

• Autonomy that is real. You set the practice model, choose the team and build the systems. Nobody is handing you someone else’s template.
• Registration experience. Taking a home through Ofsted registration is difficult experience to acquire and very hard to replicate. It stays with you.
• One young person. The chance to do the work properly, without the compromises that come with volume.
• Room to grow. We are developing further provision across Torbay. The right person will not run out of road here.
• We back our managers. Funded qualifications, registration consultancy, legal and HR support.
