Up to £57,500

Registered Manager role for an Ofsted "good" rated, four bed EBD children's home in the Bolton area, currently supporting three young people, with a salary of up to £57,500 depending on experience.

The home has a trauma informed, relational model already built into how it operates, and a homely, modern environment. The majority of the staff team have been in place since day one, and the young people's needs are complex, but the foundations for good practice are already in place, which means the focus of this role is on building and developing.

What you'll be doing

• Holding day to day and strategic leadership of the home, maintaining Ofsted registration and working towards continuous improvement against the Children's Home Regulations 2015 and Quality Standards

• Leading and developing a staff team, embedding trauma informed and relational practice into everyday care

• Building relationships with placing authorities, families, and external professionals including social workers, therapists, education providers and health services

• Overseeing care planning, risk assessment and safeguarding practice for each young person

• Managing budgets, occupancy, and home performance, reporting into senior leadership

• Maintaining a home environment that young people feel proud of, with personalisation and dignity built into daily life

What they're looking for

• A Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare, or willingness to work towards it

• Experience managing in a children's residential setting, ideally with exposure to EBD or complex trauma presentations

• A leadership style that's confident and collaborative, able to hold a team together and manage difficult conversations when needed

• Strong working knowledge of Ofsted frameworks, safeguarding legislation and the regulatory landscape around residential childcare

• A track record that reflects attention to staff wellbeing alongside young people's outcomes

• Full UK Driving Licence

Staff development is treated as a stated priority within the organisation, alongside young people's progress, with a defined trauma informed model that's been adapted specifically for the young people in this home.

The salary reflects the level of responsibility involved in leading an EBD home.
