Small, values-led provider Genuine autonomy from day one Build a home properly Long-term, ethical focus
If you're an experienced Registered Children's Home Manager who wants to step away from corporate care and build something with integrity, this role offers a rare chance to do just that. You'll lead a small specialist EBD children's home that will not open until the right manager is in place, giving you real influence from the very beginning.
This Registered Children's Home Manager role is about shaping a service, not inheriting problems. You will have the time, backing, and authority to establish culture, systems, and practice properly, with decisions guided by children's needs rather than occupancy targets or head office pressure.
Package & Benefits
• Salary £65,000-£70,000 per annum.
• 28 days annual leave, increasing to 31 days after three years' service.
• Bank holidays included.
• Flexible working once the home is established.
• Occupancy bonus linked to sustainable, ethical growth.
• Competitive employee benefits package.
• Ongoing guidance and support from an experienced Responsible Individual.

• Lead the registration and opening of a new EBD children's home from inception.

• Embed trauma-informed, relationship-based practice across the service.
• Take full accountability for quality, compliance, and outcomes.
