We're looking for an experienced Registered Manager to lead an exciting new children's residential care provision in Lanchester, County Durham.

• If you're an experienced children's residential leader who enjoys building, developing and making things happen, this could be an opportunity to make a real difference.

About the role

As Registered Manager, you'll take overall responsibility for the development, leadership and day-to-day management of the provision.

You'll be responsible for:

• Leading the service through Ofsted registration and ongoing regulatory compliance
• Recruiting, leading, coaching and developing a strong staff team
• Creating a positive and consistent team culture
• Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children
• Overseeing admissions, care planning, transitions, education, wellbeing and independence
• Building strong relationships with families, local authorities and other professionals
• Managing staffing, training, budgets, health and safety and quality assurance
• Ensuring records and care plans are accurate and maintained to a high standard
• Championing trauma-informed and PACE-based practice
• Using ClearCare to maintain effective records and oversight
• Working closely with the Responsible Individual and Director on the strategic development of the provision
• Participating in the on-call rota

What you'll get in return

We want our people to feel valued, supported and rewarded for the work they do. As Registered Manager, you'll receive:

• £55,000 £65,000 salary, depending on experience
• Performance-related bonuses, including rewards linked to strong Ofsted outcomes and successful occupancy
• 31 days' annual leave, including bank holidays, plus an additional day off for your birthday

You'll bring:

• 5+ years' experience working with children in residential care
• At least 2 years' management experience
• Experience working within LD and/or EDB children's services
• Experience as a Registered Manager or senior leader within a children's residential setting
• A track record of achieving at least a Good Ofsted outcome
• Level 5 qualification in Children's Residential Care (or an equivalent recognised qualification)
• A full UK driving licence
• Strong knowledge of Ofsted requirements, the Children's Homes (England) Regulations 2015 and relevant legislation and guidance
• Most importantly, you'll be someone who can lead with confidence, build strong relationships and create a culture where good practice becomes the norm.

Safeguarding

• Safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do. You will need to demonstrate a strong understanding of safeguarding and multi-agency working when supporting children with complex needs.
• All appointments are subject to enhanced DBS checks, satisfactory references and our full pre-employment screening and safer recruitment process.
