We're looking for an experienced Responsible Individual to support a new children's residential provider through the registration of their first service in Newquay.

The provider is developing a children's home operating across three buildings, with plans to support up to six children. The service is currently at the registration stage and already has a highly experienced proposed Registered Manager in place.

This is a flexible consultancy role that would suit someone who enjoys helping new services get off the ground and wants to be involved from the very beginning.

You'll work alongside the provider and Registered Manager, offering guidance, oversight and support around:

• Ofsted registration and readiness
• Governance and compliance
• Quality assurance
• Safeguarding oversight
• Supporting and supervising the Registered Manager
• Policies, procedures and operational setup
• Preparing the service for a successful launch

You'll ideally have:

• Previous Responsible Individual experience within children's residential care
• Strong knowledge of Ofsted regulations and Quality Standards
• Experience supporting registrations, inspections or new service development
• A practical, supportive approach with the confidence to offer challenge where needed
• Excellent safeguarding and governance knowledge

• £350 per day
• An initial commitment of just one day per month
• 6-month contract to start with
• Opportunity for the role to grow as the service becomes operational
• Chance to help shape a brand-new provider from day one

This is a great opportunity for an experienced RI who wants a flexible consultancy assignment and enjoys helping providers build strong, compliant services from the outset.
