We’re looking for a creative and energetic, values‑driven Registered Manager with a range of brilliant leadership and organisational skills to lead our exciting residential children’s home for disabled children and young people.

This post leads one of our two Children’s Homes and offers the chance to make a meaningful difference every day.

As Registered Manager you champion children’s voices, help shape a home where young people feel empowered, included, and celebrated, leading inclusion, amplifying choice, building independence, and nurturing relationships.

Working confidently alongside parents, carers, and family networks is essential, ensuring the child is genuinely cared for and supported.

Your leadership energises the home’s values, principles, and ethos, driving a culture where best practice is exceeded and national standards are reflected.

With your passion and determination, the home consistently achieves Good or Outstanding outcomes in external inspections.

You must be a leader who is all‑in – committed, knowledgeable and deeply passionate about transforming the lives of children and young people, bringing energy, vision and heart to inspire others.

We’d love to hear from you if you bring:

• Proven residential childcare experience – especially supporting disabled children and young people, and a drive to deliver exceptional care.
• Stand‑out leadership energy – the ability to inspire, empower, and grow a confident, child‑centred team.
• Strong safeguarding and regulatory expertise – ensuring every decision reflects quality, safety and best practice.
• A growth mindset – committed to reflective practice, continuous improvement, and trauma‑informed approaches.
• A passion that shines – a genuine belief in helping children build independence, experience joy, and create meaningful moments.

If you’re ready to lead with passion, elevate practice, and make a life‑changing difference for disabled children, young people and their families, we want to hear from you.

Step into a role where your leadership sparks possibility and each day brings a new chance to make a life‑changing difference.
