Job Description

Registered Manager – New 3-Bed EBD Children’s Home

Location: Prestwich, Manchester
Salary: £50,000 – £75,000 DOE

About the Role

We are excited to offer a fantastic opportunity to lead a brand-new, fully renovated 3-bed children’s home specialising in Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD) in Prestwich, Manchester. This is a rare chance to join a service at the very beginning of its journey, with a clear pathway to progress from Registered Manager (RM) to Responsible Individual (RI) in the future.

You will be supported throughout the registration process by a highly experienced RI and will take ownership of shaping a home that delivers outstanding care, a strong therapeutic culture, and positive outcomes for children and young people.

Key Responsibilities

  * Lead and manage the day-to-day operations of the home, ensuring the highest standards of care for children with EBD.

  * Prepare the home for registration, liaising with Ofsted and other regulatory bodies as required.

  * Develop, implement, and maintain policies, procedures, and care plans in line with regulatory requirements and best practice.

  * Recruit, develop, and manage a skilled and motivated staff team, providing supervision, mentoring, and performance management.

  * Ensure safeguarding, risk assessment, and behaviour management frameworks are robust, consistent, and effective.

  * Maintain high-quality care documentation, reporting, and auditing to ensure compliance and continuous improvement.

  * Foster a nurturing, structured environment that promotes safety, stability, and positive outcomes for children.

About You

We are looking for an experienced and ambitious Registered Manager, or a strong Deputy ready to step into a management role, who:

  * Holds Level 3 Residential Childcare (essential)

  * Holds Level 5 Leadership & Management qualification, or is working towards it

  * Has a minimum of 2 years’ residential experience in the last 5 years

  * Has at least 1 year in a senior or management position

  * Has a strong understanding of safeguarding and working with EBD children

  * Is motivated to lead, innovate, and shape a high-performing home rather than simply “keeping the home afloat”

What We Offer

  * Competitive salary, depending on experience (£50,000 – £75,000)

  * Expert support from an experienced Responsible Individual during registration

  * Opportunity to grow into a Responsible Individual role in the future

  * The chance to lead a brand-new, fully renovated home with a C2 planning in place

If you are an ambitious and experienced residential manager passionate about making a difference for children with EBD, we would love to hear from you
