Registered Manager: Solo Children's Home

Barnoldswick, Lancashire

Our client is seeking a Registered Manager to lead a specialist solo children's home in Barnoldswick. This is an opportunity to join an established provider with a strong reputation for delivering highly individualised, trauma-informed care within a supportive local network of three homes.

The service is built around a genuine commitment to listening to children and ensuring their voices shape the care they receive. Participation is not simply encouraged, it sits at the heart of every decision, guided by the principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

If you're looking for a leadership role where relationships, consistency and meaningful outcomes take priority over simply managing processes, this could be an excellent next step.

As Registered Manager, you'll lead a dedicated team supporting one young person aged 8 to 17 in a calm, therapeutic environment designed to provide stability, safety and individualised care.

Working as part of a supportive three-home network, you'll have the opportunity to focus on delivering outstanding outcomes while benefiting from collaboration with experienced colleagues and senior leadership.

Responsibilities include:

• Providing safe, effective leadership for a solo children's home
• Creating a nurturing, trauma-informed environment where children feel heard and valued
• Leading, supporting and developing a committed residential team
• Maintaining high standards in line with Children's Homes Regulations and Quality Standards
• Overseeing care planning, safeguarding and quality assurance
• Working closely with education, health and local authority professionals
• Supporting a culture where children's participation and individual voice shape everyday practice
• Managing the home with clear support from senior leaders and the wider local management network

This provider has developed a genuinely child-centred model designed around one young person at a time.

Their solo provision enables children who have experienced trauma, disrupted attachments, neurodiversity or emotional regulation difficulties to receive highly consistent care from a small, dedicated team.

Their therapeutic approach is rooted in PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy), recognising that meaningful relationships come before behavioural management.

Education is equally individualised, with bespoke learning programmes delivered through the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and AQA Unit Award Scheme. Outdoor learning, adventure activities and real-life experiences are woven into everyday care, helping young people rebuild confidence, resilience and self-belief.

As part of a local three-home network, you'll benefit from shared leadership, collaboration and ongoing support rather than working in isolation.

We're looking for an experienced leader who combines strong regulatory knowledge with a calm, reflective and child-focused approach.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience as a Registered Manager, or be an experienced Deputy Manager ready for registration
• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare (or working towards)
• Strong knowledge of Children's Homes Regulations and Quality Standards
• Experience leading and developing residential childcare teams
• A therapeutic, trauma-informed approach to leadership
• Confidence building positive relationships with children, families and professionals
• A commitment to participation, inclusion and children's rights

This is an opportunity to join a provider whose practice is firmly rooted in children's rights, therapeutic care and long-term outcomes.

You'll benefit from:

• Salary of £50,000
• Leadership within a supportive three-home local network
• Solo therapeutic model allowing highly individualised care
• Established trauma-informed practice based on PACE
• Opportunities for continued professional development
• A provider committed to participation, children's voices and meaningful outcomes
• A culture focused on sustainable leadership and long-term staff development

If you're looking for a Registered Manager role where you'll be well supported while making a genuine difference to the life of a young person, we'd love to hear from you.

Introduction:

An opportunity to lead a brand new children's home with a provider that's building services thoughtfully, sustainably and with children firmly at the centre of every decision.

Our client is opening their second children's home, creating a specialist 3-bed service for children aged 7 17 with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD) and Learning Disabilities (LD).

This is an opportunity for an experienced Registered Manager who enjoys building strong teams, creating positive cultures and developing homes where children can genuinely feel safe, valued and able to thrive. Rather than inheriting existing challenges, you'll have the opportunity to shape the home from day one, supported by an accessible senior leadership team that believes outstanding care starts with well-supported leaders.

Founded with a clear purpose of creating positive futures for children, the provider has developed a reputation for delivering safe, nurturing environments where every child receives an individualised care plan tailored to their needs. Their values of Compassion, Respect, Community and Growth underpin everything they do, creating an environment where both children and colleagues are supported to succeed.

As Registered Manager, you'll take responsibility for establishing and leading this new home, building a stable, therapeutic environment where children receive high-quality care and meaningful opportunities to progress.

You'll work closely with senior leaders who remain actively involved in the service, providing guidance, support and shared accountability as the home develops.

Responsibilities include:

• Leading the registration, opening and ongoing development of the home
• Building, developing and supporting a committed residential team
• Creating a therapeutic, child-focused culture from the outset
• Maintaining high standards of safeguarding, care planning and regulatory compliance
• Ensuring the home consistently delivers positive outcomes for children and young people
• Working collaboratively with families, education providers and placing authorities
• Supporting staff through regular supervision, coaching and development
• Promoting continuous improvement and preparing the home for successful Ofsted inspections

Launching only their second home, the provider has retained the close support and accessibility that can sometimes be lost within larger organisations.

You'll benefit from:

• The opportunity to shape the culture, team and standards from day one
• Direct access to senior leaders who remain actively involved in the service
• Shared leadership and accountability rather than feeling isolated in the role
• Regular supervision and reflective practice
• Funded qualifications and specialist training, including trauma-informed care, Makaton and learning disability development
• A supportive, values-led culture built around long-term sustainability
• Clear opportunities to progress as the organisation continues to grow
• An Accredited Living Wage Employer committed to investing in its people
• Enhanced annual leave that increases with length of service

We're looking for an experienced Registered Manager with a genuine passion for delivering outstanding care and creating environments where children can thrive.

You'll have:

• Experience as a Registered Manager within children's residential care
• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership & Management for Residential Childcare (or equivalent)
• Strong knowledge of Ofsted regulations and safeguarding practice
• Experience leading and developing successful residential teams
• Confidence managing quality, compliance and performance
• A therapeutic, child-focused approach to leadership

You'll also bring:

• Calm, reflective and emotionally resilient leadership
• The ability to build positive, trusting relationships with children, families and professionals
• A collaborative leadership style that supports and develops others
• A commitment to creating stable, nurturing environments where children can achieve positive outcomes

This is an opportunity to join a provider at an exciting stage of growth while still benefiting from the close support that comes with being part of a smaller organisation.

You'll receive:

• Salary up to £70,000
• Performance bonus taking earnings to £85,000 OTE
• The opportunity to establish and lead a brand new home
• Strong senior leadership support and shared accountability
• Excellent funded training and leadership development
• Enhanced annual leave increasing with service
• Career progression as the organisation expands
• A values-led culture focused on supporting and retaining its leaders

If you're an experienced Registered Manager looking to build something meaningful with a provider that values sustainable leadership, we'd love to hear from you.
