Registered Manager

Children’s Residential Care (Solo EBD Home)

Location: Aylestone, Leicestershire
Salary: £45,000 to £54,500 per annum (dependent on experience)

This is an Ofsted registered solo placement home, supporting one young person aged 12 to 17 on a 2:1 care model.

Everything is built around them; their pace, their needs, their future.

Your Role as Registered Manager

You’ll hold full responsibility for the home under the Children’s Homes (England) Regulations 2015.

In practice, that means:

• Leading the home in line with the Quality Standards

• Creating a safe, structured and nurturing environment

• Building and developing a consistent staff team through supervision and support

• Overseeing care planning, risk management and reviews

• Acting as the safeguarding lead within the home

• Maintaining full compliance and inspection readiness

• Working closely with therapists, education providers and external professionals

• Keeping the home aligned with its Statement of Purpose

There’s accountability here, of course but also real autonomy, you’re trusted to run the home properly with a provider who has been providing care to young people for 10 years.

Managers Who Thrives Here

This role suits someone who is thoughtful in how they lead. Someone who understands that behaviour is communication, and that consistency from adults changes outcomes over time.

You’ll likely be:

• Experienced in managing children’s homes (or a deputy manager who is ready to progress), ideally within EBD or SEMH

• Confident leading a team and setting clear expectations

• Comfortable making decisions and standing by them

• Emotionally aware, without losing professional boundaries

• Organised, with a strong grip on compliance and quality

• Able to build strong working relationships with professionals and families

You don’t need to be loud to lead well here. But you do need to be clear.

What You’ll Need

• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare (or equivalent) or actively working towards

• At least 2 years’ experience managing within a children’s residential setting

• Strong understanding of Ofsted frameworks and the Children’s Homes Regulations 2015

• Experience supporting young people with emotional and behavioural needs

• Full UK driving licence

What’s on Offer

• Salary between £45,000 and £54,500 depending on experience

• Annual Ofsted bonus linked to inspection outcomes

• Monthly occupancy bonus

• Regulation 44 bonus

• 33 days annual leave including bank holidays

• A well-supported service with clear structure and direction

• Twice Annually pay reviews

Why This Role Stands Out

In a lot of homes, managers are stretched across multiple demands.

Here, the focus is clear.

One home, one young person, one team.

That allows you to lead with intention, to notice the small changes and to build something that lasts.
