## Description

## Registered Children's Home Manager

**Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire**  
**Up to £60,000 + Bonus + Genuine Progression Opportunity**

## Want to build something, not just manage it?

Delphi Care Solutions are proud to be partnering with an ambitious and growing children's residential care provider to recruit an experienced **Registered Children's Home Manager** for their established EBD service in Stoke-on-Trent.

This is a rare opportunity to join a provider at an exciting stage of its journey.

Rather than stepping into a large corporate structure where decisions take months and your ideas get lost, you'll work closely with the directors, have genuine influence over the service, and play a key role in shaping the future growth of the organisation.

The home is a spacious five-bedroom property registered for up to four children with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD). With strong foundations already in place, the focus is now on finding a passionate leader who can continue driving quality, stability and positive outcomes for young people while helping the business move forward.

## What's different about this role?

-   You'll have genuine autonomy to lead the home and make decisions that matter
-   The directors are hands-on, approachable and committed to achieving the highest standards of care
-   You'll be trusted to influence operational decisions and future business growth
-   The home is established, giving you the opportunity to focus on development rather than constant firefighting
-   You'll work alongside leadership that values ideas, initiative and innovation
-   As the organisation grows, so will your opportunities for progression and career development
-   You'll be part of a provider that wants to do things properly and put children at the centre of everything they do

## The Role

As Registered Manager, you will have overall responsibility for the leadership, performance and compliance of the home, ensuring young people receive the highest quality care within a safe, nurturing and therapeutic environment.

Your responsibilities will include:

-   Leading and developing a motivated and high-performing staff team
-   Maintaining full compliance with Ofsted regulations and Children's Homes Quality Standards
-   Driving positive outcomes for children and young people
-   Ensuring safeguarding remains at the heart of the service
-   Managing quality assurance, audits and continuous improvement initiatives
-   Developing positive relationships with local authorities, social workers and external professionals
-   Supporting occupancy, referrals and service development
-   Working closely with the directors on strategic planning and future expansion opportunities

## About You

We're keen to speak with experienced residential childcare leaders who can demonstrate:

-   Previous experience as a Registered Manager within a children's residential setting
-   Strong experience supporting young people with EBD
-   Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare (or equivalent)
-   Excellent working knowledge of Ofsted regulations and safeguarding legislation
-   A proven track record of leading successful teams and improving outcomes
-   Strong leadership, communication and organisational skills
-   Ambition, professionalism and a genuine desire to make a lasting difference to young people's lives

## The Opportunity

This role will suit an ambitious Registered Manager who wants more than simply keeping a home compliant.

It's an opportunity to become a key member of a growing organisation, work directly alongside supportive directors and play an active role in shaping the next chapter of the business.

If you're looking for a position where your experience is valued, your voice is heard and your career can continue to develop, we'd love to speak with you.
