Location: Ilford, East London (IG1)
Salary: Up to £67,000 per year
We're looking for a Registered Manager to take the lead in an EBD children's home in Ilford. The home's backed by an experienced care group with a strong track record, and you'll have the space and support to run things properly with quality, stability and outcomes at the centre.
This is a great role for someone who knows what good care looks like, understands what Ofsted expects, and can build a team culture where staff feel supported and young people feel safe, seen and understood.
You'll be responsible for registering with Ofsted and leading the service day-to-day. That means everything from compliance, quality assurance and safeguarding through to team development, rota planning and budgeting.
What you'll be doing:
* Leading the home and registering as the RM with Ofsted
* Driving a culture of consistency, safety and child-focused practice
* Supporting and developing staff through regular supervision and training
* Managing performance, rotas, audits and ongoing service improvement
* Building strong working relationships with local authorities, families and professionals
* Keeping the service compliant, financially sound and inspection-ready
What you'll need:
* At least 2 years' experience in children's residential care, with 1 year at supervisory level
* A solid understanding of safeguarding, Children's Homes Regs and Ofsted frameworks
* Level 5 in Leadership and Management (or working towards it)
* Previous Ofsted registration is ideal, but not essential
* Strong, grounded leadership style and a full UK manual driving licence
What's on offer:
* Salary up to £67,000 per year
* Quarterly performance bonuses
* 25 days' leave plus bank holidays
* Fully funded training and qualifications
* Enhanced maternity and sick pay
* Wellbeing support, pension scheme and employee benefits
* Profit share, referral bonuses and more
If you're ready to lead a home where quality isn't just a buzzword and you want to be part of something long-term, this could be your next step.
