Registered Manager
Children’s Residential Care (EBD / LD)
Peterborough PE1
£55,000 to £70,000 depending on responsibility (single or dual registration)

There’s a certain point in your career where you stop looking for “just another home”, you start looking for something you can actually shape. Not inherit. Not patch up. Build. That’s what this is.

The role, in real terms

You’ll either take on one home, or both, depending on your experience and what feels right.

If it’s one, your focus is clear; get the home registered, build your team, create a culture that actually holds.

If it’s both, you’re shaping something slightly bigger but still close enough to stay connected, but with a bit more scope and influence across both settings.

Either way, your role isn’t just oversight; it’s presence, direction and consistency. The kind that young people notice without it needing to be said.

What makes this worth looking at

There’s support behind you from people who understand residential care and stay close enough to make decisions quickly when they’re needed.

You’re not left figuring things out on your own but you are trusted to lead and that balance matters more than most people admit.

Who this suits

You’re already a Registered Manager, or very close to it.

You’ve either been through registration before, or you’ve seen enough of it to understand what actually matters beyond the paperwork.

You notice the small things from the way a team communicates on a tough day to the way a young person responds when they feel safe… or when they don’t.

You’re not trying to control everything.

You’re trying to create something that works.

The offer

£55,000 for single-site registration
Up to £70,000 if you take on dual registration

There is flexibility for the right person.

Why people tend to move into roles like this

Usually it’s not about money, it’s about wanting a bit more say, a bit more ownership, a chance to do things properly, without constantly working around limitations and if you’ve been in the sector a while, you’ll know how valuable that is.

If you’ve read this and found yourself thinking this sounds like me, it’s probably worth a conversation.
