Registered Manager

Registered Manager – Lead a Home with Strong Foundations

NG12 & NG13, Nottinghamshire
2-bed and 4-bed Children’s Residential Homes
Salary: Open, dependent on experience

Our client, a therapeutic residential childcare provider, is recruiting Registered Managers across NG12 and NG13 , with opportunities available within both 2-bed and 4-bed children’s homes.

These roles are for experienced residential childcare professionals who want the autonomy to lead a home properly, while working within an organisation that recognises the importance of support, strong teams and sustainable leadership.

You’ll have the opportunity to develop your team, embed a therapeutic approach and create the stability and consistency young people need to feel safe, build trusting relationships and make meaningful progress.

About the Role:

As Registered Manager, you’ll lead the day-to-day running and development of your home, with responsibility for maintaining a safe, supportive and child-focused environment.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing calm, consistent leadership across the home
• Building, developing and supporting a strong staff team
• Providing effective supervision and supporting staff development
• Overseeing safeguarding, risk management and quality assurance
• Ensuring care planning reflects each young person’s individual needs
• Embedding a therapeutic approach across day-to-day practice
• Maintaining standards in line with Children’s Homes Regulations and Ofsted Quality Standards
• Developing effective partnership working around each young person
• Creating a culture where good practice is recognised and staff feel able to develop
• Working with the wider organisation to maintain quality, stability and positive outcomes

This is a leadership role with clear responsibility, but it isn’t about one person carrying the home alone. Strong residential care depends on a capable team, effective partnership working and an organisation that provides its managers with the structure and backing to lead well.

What Makes This Opportunity Different:

For our client, a successful Registered Manager isn’t simply someone who achieves compliance.

It’s someone who can create a stable home, retain good people and build a culture where young people experience consistent, high-quality care .

The therapeutic approach means care is individually tailored rather than one-size-fits-all, with the wider team working together around the needs of each young person.

You’ll have:

• The autonomy to develop and lead your home
• A choice of 2-bed or 4-bed services, allowing the opportunity to be matched to your experience and leadership style
• A therapeutic approach centred around individual young people
• Scope to build, develop and retain a strong staff team
• An organisation that values good leadership and staff development
• A role focused on creating stability rather than simply managing day-to-day pressures

About You:

Experience & Qualifications:

We’re interested in speaking with experienced Registered Managers as well as established Deputy Managers who are ready to discuss progression.

You’ll ideally have:

• A relevant residential childcare qualification at Level 3 or above
• Level 5 leadership and management qualification, or be working towards this where appropriate
• Strong experience within children’s residential care
• Experience supervising, developing and leading staff
• A good understanding of safeguarding and risk management
• Knowledge of Children’s Homes Regulations and Ofsted Quality Standards
• Confidence working with professionals and partner agencies around young people

Personal Qualities:

• Calm, consistent and approachable as a leader
• Emotionally resilient and reflective
• Able to develop people rather than simply manage them
• Comfortable making decisions while knowing when to draw on wider support
• Values-led and focused on the experiences of young people
• Committed to creating a stable home and retaining a strong team

Why Join:

Registered Management should be a role experienced professionals can see themselves staying in and developing within.

This opportunity provides the autonomy to shape your home and lead your team, while being part of a therapeutic provider that recognises the importance of individually tailored care, staff development and consistency.

With both 2-bed and 4-bed homes available across NG12 and NG13 , there is also flexibility to discuss which service best suits your experience, strengths and next career step.

Salary is open and dependent on experience , allowing the conversation to focus on finding the right manager for the right home.

If you’re already a Registered Manager looking for your next opportunity, or an established Deputy who feels ready to explore the next stage of your career, we’d be happy to have a confidential conversation.
