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.
Agency: LET Recruitment - Executive Search for Ofsted Leadership
Are you an experienced Ofsted Registered Manager, a Level 5-trained Deputy, or a newly promoted RM looking for a provider who genuinely aligns with your values?
Our client is now seeking a committed, emotionally intelligent leader to bring their first Surrey home to life. This isn't just another vacancy - it's a chance to lead from the front and shape something meaningful from day one.
We're especially open to:
* Established RMs who've led inspections or supported registrations
* Deputies with Level 5 (or nearing completion) ready to step up
* Newly promoted RMs where the first role hasn't gone as promised
* Professionals seeking autonomy, support, and the space to lead well
You'll be supported by:
* An experienced, hands-on RI
* A dedicated governance lead
* Strategic leadership from an established provider (over 10 existing children's homes)
Even if you're not looking to move now - let's still connect. I'm happy to:
* Support your SC1 and Fit Person interview preparation
* Guide you through registration and inspection expectations
* Keep you informed on future leadership roles across Surrey
* Offer confidential advice if your current role isn't delivering what was promised
