Ofsted Registered Manager (Children’s Home – EBD, Start-Up)
📍 Location: (GU21 / GU22 area or nearby preferred – car required)
💰 Salary: £58,000 – £63,000 + Bonus (Negotiable DOE)
📃 Contract: Office-Based, Full-Time, Permanent
🏠 The Employer: A values-led children’s residential care provider with 11 established homes in the Midlands. This is their first Surrey-based service — a new 3-bed EBD/SEMH home, fully furnished and ready. The leadership team is committed to quality-first growth, therapeutic practice, and emotionally intelligent leadership.
🚀 Timing: The home is ready — all that's missing is the right RM to progress the Ofsted registration.
🧠 Ethos: PACE-led, trauma-informed, flexible and quality-first. Not a tick-box culture.
