Two homes. Two young people. One exceptional leader.
On behalf of the client, we are seeking an experienced Registered Manager ready to step beyond single-home oversight.
In this senior, high-trust role, you will lead an established, fully staffed solo SEMH service in Redcar while commissioning and launching a brand-new solo learning disabilities home located close by.
The Package & Perks
- Salary: £65,000 base + up to £7,200 in performance enhancements (£3,600 per home).
- Leave: 33 days' annual leave, rising with each year of service (up to 5 extra days).
- Support: Close backing from an experienced Responsible Individual.
- Benefits: Pension, healthcare and wellbeing scheme, staff discounts, referral bonuses, and free on-site parking.
Why Apply?
- The Best of Both Worlds: Lead a settled, stable team in one service while recruiting and shaping your own team in the next.
- Close Proximity: Both solo homes sit near each other, making visible, hands-on leadership across both sites simple.
- Autonomy: You will hold real decision-making power in a high-trust culture.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver child-centred care that empowers both young people to thrive.
- Lead the new service through Ofsted registration, staffing, and its first placement.
- Hold Ofsted registration across both provisions under the Children's Homes Regulations 2015 (Reg 40, 44, and 45).
- Act as Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and oversee budgets, rotas, and compliance.
- Build strong partnerships with local authorities, social workers, and families.
Requirements
- Proven experience as an Ofsted Registered Manager in children's residential care.
- Hands-on experience supporting young people with SEMH needs and learning disabilities.
- Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare (or equivalent).
- Track record of positive Ofsted ratings. New-home commissioning experience is a plus.
- Full UK driving licence and enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one).
