POSITION: Registered Manager (Residential Children’s Home)

As a Registered Manager, what would you consider you’re perfect

position? Does it look something like this?

A role where you are not forced into covering shifts because your company doesn’t respect the role you do currently?

A role where you have an actual say in how the company will run effectively?

A role where you have an actual impact on a child’s life and are a beacon of hope for that child?

Work for a company in which the owners have direct experience in working with children and have proven their capability of how to safely and effectively give children the quality of life they deserve.

Work for a company that will treat you like family, as the name of the company is named after their own children.

A role that has flexible working hours as the company understands the importance of your family as much as their own.

A role that will reignite your love for care as you will never be alone and the owners will work with you rather than you work solely for them.

Work for a company that pays up to 25% more than the average salary for a registered manager in the UK!
