Dual Registered Manager – Children’s Residential Homes

Location: Bradford (BD4 and BD5)

Salary: £60,000 to £70,000 depending on experience

We are looking for an experienced Registered Manager to take on something a bit different, leading two newly refurbished 2-bed homes just minutes apart in Bradford. Both homes are brand new, and you will have full responsibility for shaping how they run from day one.

The registrations, the teams, the culture, the way things are set up... you will lead it. There is backing from a leadership team who understand residential care properly and who will give you the trust and space to do the job right, without layers of bureaucracy.

Both homes will be registered for EBD or Complex Trauma depending on your input. This is not just about opening doors and maintaining standards, it is about building two homes with a clear, child-centred, therapeutic ethos.

Why this role stands out:

• Two brand-new 2-bed homes, 5 minutes apart
• You shape the care model, staffing, routines and culture
• Trusted leadership that supports, not micromanages
• Proper investment in staff and practice
• A rare chance to build from the ground up, not fix someone else’s work

What you will be doing:

• Leading both homes operationally, including registration and setup
• Recruiting, leading and developing your teams across the two sites
• Driving high standards in care, safeguarding and compliance
• Embedding a therapeutic, relational model of support
• Building strong working relationships with families, Ofsted and external professionals
• Setting the tone for behaviour support, reflective practice and ongoing development

What we are looking for:

• Registered Manager experience with a strong Ofsted record
• Values-led leadership grounded in child-first practice
• Solid understanding of EBD and complex trauma care
• Level 5 Diploma (or close to completion)
• Calm, consistent leadership with clear expectations and follow-through

What’s on offer:

• Salary between £60,000 and £70,000 depending on experience
• Full autonomy across two homes, with strong leadership support
• Real career development as part of a growing, ethical provider
• A genuine voice in shaping how the service develops

If you are looking for a role where you can build something properly and lead with real purpose, this could be the right move.
