Home: 4 Bed EBD Home with 4 YPs - Ofsted "Good"

Some homes already have the right ingredients; a stable, qualified team, a therapeutic culture, and young people who are settled and making progress. What they need next is a manager who knows how to bring it all together.

This four-bed children’s home, set within the beautiful Vale of Belvoir, has been purpose-built for therapeutic care. The team is experienced, well-staffed and supported by a dedicated clinical service. It’s the kind of place where everyone pulls in the same direction, where consistency and care actually mean something.

The opportunity
You’ll take the lead in shaping the direction of the home and inspiring a full team that already has strong foundations in place. It’s a chance to create an environment that genuinely feels like home, one that helps children feel secure, confident and ready to move forward in life.

You’ll have the backing of a senior leadership team who believe in quality over quick fixes, who invest in their managers and give them space to lead. There’s structure, but there’s also trust, the freedom to make decisions that serve the children best.

What you’ll do

• Lead a team to deliver high-quality, therapeutic care and meaningful outcomes

• Maintain excellence in safeguarding, compliance and Ofsted standards

• Support and develop staff through reflective supervision and training

• Build strong relationships with professionals, families and placing authorities

• Create a home culture rooted in respect, warmth and belonging

What you’ll need

• At least two years’ experience as a Registered or Deputy Manager in a children’s home

• Level 3 Diploma in Children & Young People’s Workforce (or equivalent)

• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Residential Childcare (or willingness to enrol)

• Sound knowledge of Ofsted frameworks and safeguarding practice

• Strong leadership skills with a relational, trauma-informed approach

• A full UK manual driving licence

What’s on offer

• £50,000 to £60,000 DOE + monthly occupancy bonus + annual performance bonus

• Private medical insurance

• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays

• Pension contributions

• Free meals on shift

• Fully funded Blue Light Card

• Health cashback scheme (dental, optical, physio)

• Employee Assistance Programme

• Funded qualifications and career progression

• Refer-a-friend bonus scheme

• Access to a specialist therapeutic team

Why this role matters
Every child deserves a home that feels safe and full of possibility. Every team deserves a leader who brings purpose, energy and care to the work. If that sounds like you, this could be the perfect next step.
