Registered Manager

• Residential Children’s Home supporting young people with learning disabilities
• Salary £50,000 to £60,000 depending on experience
• 5-bed LD home, registered, with two young people settled and a full team including an experienced Deputy

If you’ve ever wished for a home that already has strong bones, here it is. The registration is in place, the young people are settled, the team are warm and organised, and the Deputy knows every inch of the setting. You’re not arriving to fix the basics. You’re here to lead, shape and develop.

This provider keeps things thoughtful. Learning disabilities, autism, communication needs, sensory support and behaviours linked to anxiety are responded to with patience, not pressure. They build homes that feel welcoming, structured and predictable so children feel safe to try, grow and communicate in the ways that work for them.

The RI is local and genuinely available. You’ll have someone who enjoys open conversation, supports decision making and wants you to have a real presence in the home. And there’s space to progress. More LD homes are planned in the region, so if you’re thinking longer term, there’s a path beyond a single service.

• Leading the home and maintaining Ofsted registration
• Embedding LD practice into daily life; communication, sensory routines and independence
• Working closely with your Deputy to guide, support and upskill the team
• Holding responsibility for care plans, behaviour support, reviews and meaningful outcomes for children
• Taking the lead on safeguarding and partnership work with education, health and therapy teams
• Keeping quality strong through audits, reflective conversations and everyday practice that holds its shape
• Handling admissions and matching with careful planning so the home remains safe and nurturing
• Helping shape future LD provision as the organisation grows

• Registered Manager experience or Deputy Manager background with strong LD knowledge
• Experience supporting children or young people with LD and autism
• Level 5 in Leadership & Management for Residential Childcare or working towards it
• Confident understanding of Ofsted expectations, Quality Standards and LD-focused practice
• Leadership that balances warmth, clarity and high expectations
• UK driving licence

• £50,000 to £60,000 depending on experience
• Bonus linked to outcomes
• Full team already recruited including a capable Deputy
• Local RI who is involved and supportive
• Private medical cover and wellbeing support
• Funded CPD and meaningful leadership development
• Progression into wider LD leadership as the service portfolio grows

Everything you need to start well is already in place. A small, relationship-led home where communication is personalised, sensory needs are respected and children are supported to gain confidence and autonomy at their pace. The team are established, the young people are settled and the environment is built for progress rather than push.

If you want a Registered Manager role where you can influence practice, feel supported in your decisions and genuinely shape how LD provision develops in Derbyshire, this one is worth your energy.
