Offer description

Are you an experienced care leader ready to step into a high-impact role? We're recruiting a Registered Children's Home Manager to lead a specialist residential provision in Suffolk, supporting children and young people with emotional, behavioural, and complex needs.

This full-time, permanent role offers an excellent annual salary with additional bonus incentives and a car allowance. You'll oversee the running of the home, ensuring it provides safe, stable, and nurturing care that meets Ofsted regulations and supports each young person to thrive.

You'll lead on staffing, training, and strategic development - as well as working directly with families, local authorities, and multi-agency teams to ensure consistent and high-quality care delivery. Your ability to build and sustain a positive team culture is essential, as is your passion for trauma-informed, child-centred support.

This is a rewarding role in a well-supported setting where you'll have the autonomy to shape your team, raise standards, and be part of a growing and values-led service.

You'll be well-compensated, supported in your leadership journey, and make a direct and lasting impact on young lives.
