Are you ready to open and lead a brand-new solo children's home and truly make your mark?

We are looking for an ambitious, compassionate Registered Manager to lead the way in Mansfield.

This is a rare opportunity to shape a high-quality, therapeutic home from day one, providing focused, trauma-informed care for one child with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD).

Ensure full compliance with Children's Homes Regulations and Ofsted standards

Build strong partnerships with local authorities, families, and external professionals

This is leadership with purpose - where your decisions directly shape a child's future.

We're seeking a resilient and child-centred leader who believes in therapeutic, trauma-informed care.

Essential:

Experience as a Registered Manager or Deputy Manager in children's residential care (EBD/solo experience desirable)

Strong knowledge of legislation, Children's Homes Regulations, and Ofsted frameworks

Ability to create positive culture and strong team dynamics

Passion for improving outcomes for vulnerable young people

Requirements:

Additional on-call payments

30 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
