Registered Manager

Residential Children’s Home (EBD)
Location: York
Salary: £56,000 to £70,000 per year (DOE)
Home: 2 Bed EBD, Registered for 3 Years with Ofsted "Good"

If you’ve ever wanted to run a home properly; one where stability, care and calm leadership actually mean something, this might be the role you’ve been waiting for.

This is a well-established 2-bed EBD home in York that’s been rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted and registered for three years. It’s a stable, settled service with the same two young people, who have lived there since day one, both in full-time education, both thriving. You’ll inherit a strong, consistent staff team and a Responsible Individual who genuinely supports rather than micromanages who has also been around since day one.

The Opportunity

You’ll take ownership of the home and lead with confidence, compassion and structure. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll shape practice, develop your team, and make sure every child feels safe, seen and supported.

The organisation has solid foundations, small enough to stay personal, but ambitious enough to keep growing. For the right person, there’s a clear route into dual management within two years, alongside mentoring and professional development from an experienced senior leadership team.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Managing the day-to-day running of the home and ensuring it meets all regulatory standards

• Leading, supporting and developing your team through supervision, reflection and consistency

• Maintaining a nurturing, structured environment that supports emotional and behavioural development

• Overseeing care planning, placement reviews and safeguarding processes

• Building effective partnerships with professionals, families and the wider community

• Driving quality, compliance and continuous improvement with a focus on outcomes, not just tick boxes

About You

• You’ll already hold a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership & Management for Residential Childcare (or equivalent)

• You’ve managed a children’s residential home before

• You’re confident working with regulation, inspection frameworks and complex care needs

• You believe in leading by example and you know how to get the best from people

• You’re emotionally intelligent, calm under pressure and genuinely motivated by the idea of helping young people build stable, meaningful lives

What’s on Offer

• Salary up to £70,000 (depending on experience and track record)

• 36 days annual leave

• Clear career progression opportunity to step into dual management within two years

• Strong, supportive leadership and mentoring from an experienced Responsible Individual

• Company pension and development opportunities

• Free on-site parking and regular team events

This is a role for someone who wants to lead with heart and hea; someone who knows that a “Good” home can become “Outstanding” with the right balance of care, consistency and courage.
