Job summary

As the Registered Manager of our Ofsted-regulated Children's Home, you'll be dedicated to delivering exceptional and compassionate support to children aged 10-17 who may have experienced emotional trauma. Working within our trauma-informed Pillars of Parenting model, you'll help them achieve positive outcomes - whether that's reuniting them with family, or a transition to independence.

In this key role, you'll oversee the homes operations, whilst still enjoying a close connection to the children at the heart of our service. You'll lead a committed team, working closely with a Deputy Manager and multi-agency professionals to provide a safe, stable and nurturing environment where children can thrive.
