Are you ready to be part of something truly special? A place where children feel at home, supported, and encouraged to grow every day?
We’re looking for an experienced Registered Manager to join us on a fixed-term contract, continuing the incredible work of leading a team that provides a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment.
Your guidance and support will ensure that every child has access to the same opportunities as others. You’ll play a key role in continuing to strengthen and developing a compassionate, dedicated team that delivers outstanding care.
Based in our small, two-bedroom home, you’ll have the opportunity to build meaningful connections with both your team and the children, creating a space where they can truly thrive.
We can’t do this without passionate leaders like you.
A day in the life of a Registered Manager will involve:

* Great communication skills – Both verbal and written communication is important in this role as you’ll be speaking to a lot of different people at different times and need to be able to update the children’s plans.
* A driving licence – Our children love to be out in the community. We need you to be able to drive them to where they need to go. We have the cars you just need the licence.
* To be flexible – Our Registered Managers play a key role in keeping our homes running day to day and are required to undertake a variety of tasks including undertaking of health, safety and risk assessments, budget management, and willingness to contribute to the on-call rota.
* Ideally, you’ll hold your level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management.

* Holidays – You’ll get 33 days annual leave, inclusive of bank holidays. You’ll also get an extra day off for your birthday after your first year with us.
* Pension scheme– Our pension scheme is based on you paying in 5%, and us adding 3%.
* Learning & Development Opportunities – We provide comprehensive learning opportunities for team members to develop themselves.
* Discounts – You’ll have access to brilliant discounts through the Blue Light Card and our own employee benefits platform.
* Wellbeing Support – Your wellbeing is always our priority. You’ll have access to mental health and wellbeing support. On top of this, our therapies team offers a monthly confidential check in clinic, and group reflective practice sessions.
* Cycle2Work -The cycle to work scheme enables you to buy a bicycle at a discounted rate.
* DBS – As this role required you to have an enhanced DBS carried out, we will cover this cost.
* After 12 months service - You’ll also be eligible for our Medicash scheme which covers a wide range of medical, health and wellbeing expenses (Including immediate access to a GP!). You’ll get life assurance paid at x2 your annual salary, and even more high street discounts.
