So, if this excites you and you want to join a provider who you can grow with and there’s clear progression, this could be it.

The Provider & Home

It also means that as a Registered Children’s Home Manager you are fully supported by a robust team. This includes a Chief Executive, HR Department, 2 Deputy Managers, Clinical Psychologist, In-house Therapists on the team as well as a highly experienced Responsible Individual and a fantastic team of Residential Support Workers.

As the Registered Children’s Home Manager, you would initially oversee a 5 bedded home for children aged 11-18. The children are all living with Emotional/Behavioural Difficulties (EBD). You are in a completely autonomous role but surrounded by a team who are all ready to support each other. You are in complete control of your budget, which means you can plan activities for the kids.

They want to put the Children first and watch them with pride as they grow into young adults.
