• Oversee all operational aspects of the home: safeguarding, care planning, compliance, staff supervision, training, and development.
• Lead on budget management, service development, and continuous improvement strategies.
• Support and mentor your team, including facilitating the QCF Level 3 qualification for care staff.
• Maintain full regulatory compliance in line with Ofsted, The Children Act 1989, and Children’s Homes Regulations.

What We’re Looking For:

• 3+ years’ experience working at a senior level in a children’s residential care environment.
• Level 3 or 4 Diploma in Children and Young People’s Workforce.
• Level 5 Diploma (or working towards) in Leadership for Health and Social Care (Children and Young People’s Management).
• In-depth understanding of safeguarding, legislation, and compliance standards within children’s residential care.
• Proven experience in budgeting, financial management, and strategic leadership.
• Passionate about improving children’s lives and achieving positive, long-lasting outcomes.
• Full UK driving licence and flexibility to carry out on-call duties as required.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a values-driven organisation that puts children at the heart of everything we do.
• Lead a committed, professional team who share your passion for excellence in care.
• A supportive leadership environment where your voice matters and your impact is recognised.
• Ongoing professional development, training, and clear career progression pathways.
