The Role
Our client is looking to recruit a Registered Manager for a brand new solo-occupancy home in Preston, designed to support children with Emotional and Behavioural Disorders (EBD). This is a unique opportunity to gain experience in registering and launching a new home. The successful candidate will receive full support in creating the home’s Statement of Purpose, conducting a Locality Risk Assessment, and establishing a clear vision for the home. This is a great opportunity for current Deputy Managers or experienced Team Leaders/Seniors seeking career advancement and a fresh, exciting challenge. It’s an ideal stepping stone into a Registered Manager position with a company that prioritizes safeguarding and high-quality care for children and young people.

About You
Are you a current Registered Manager seeking a fresh start? Are you eager to open a new home and enjoy full autonomy in selecting your own team and running the home as you see fit? Or perhaps you are a highly experienced Deputy Manager with no opportunity for progression in your current role and feel ready to take on the Registered Manager role? If so, we’d love to hear from you and understand your vision. As part of the team registering this new home in Thornton-Cleveleys, you will receive full support through the registration process, help with documentation, the chance to interview and hire your own staff, and the freedom to shape your vision for the home. A strong commitment to safeguarding the young people in our care is essential.

Benefits
In return, we offer a competitive salary of £45k - £55k (depending on experience), with bonuses tied to performance and Ofsted ratings. We prioritize quality care over occupancy rates, and our approach to KPIs focuses on the retention of care staff and feedback from young people, services, and stakeholders rather than just occupancy levels.

* Opportunity to be part of the registration of a new home, with full support throughout the process.

* The chance to share your vision for the home and recruit your team specifically for it.

* Comprehensive training and support.

* The opportunity to learn processes and procedures at our first home before the new home is registered.

* General working hours of 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday, with flexibility to meet the needs of the home.

* Join a growing company with plans for sustainable expansion and additional career opportunities, all while maintaining a focus on the quality of care.

* Option to enroll in the Level 5 Diploma if you have relevant experience but not the qualification.

* Performance and Ofsted-related bonuses.

* Enhanced Health Plan Programme.

Requirements

* At least 2 years of relevant experience in residential childcare.

* At least 2 years in a senior position within residential childcare.

* Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management (or equivalent) or a commitment to achieving this.

* Level 3 Diploma for Residential Childcare (or equivalent).

* Full UK Driving Licence.

If you’re passionate about making a meaningful difference in the lives of young people and have the right skills and experience, we encourage you to apply for the Registered Manager position.
