Registered Manager - Children's Residential Home (EBD / LD)
Walsall, West Midlands
Salary: £55,000 per annum (DOE)
Start Date: ASAP / Flexible for the right candidate

We are currently recruiting for an experienced and passionate Ofsted Registered Manager to lead a new 2-bed children's residential home supporting young people with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD) and Learning Disabilities (LD) in Walsall.

This is an excellent opportunity for a strong and experienced leader who is looking to take ownership of a new service, shape the culture of the home, and build a high-quality environment that delivers positive outcomes for young people.

Planning permission has already been approved and the provider is ready to appoint a high-calibre Registered Manager who can lead the home through registration and establish a stable and successful service.

The Role

As the Registered Manager, you will play a key role in the setup, development and leadership of the home. Your responsibilities will include:

Leading the home through Ofsted registration and achieving a positive first inspection outcome
Recruiting, developing and leading a consistent and motivated staff team
Ensuring excellent standards across safeguarding, care planning, risk management and quality assurance
Creating a safe, nurturing and therapeutic environment for young people
Building strong relationships with Local Authorities, social workers, professionals and families
Driving a culture of high standards, accountability and positive outcomes

What We Are Looking For

We are seeking a proven Registered Manager who has:

Previous Registered Manager experience within a children's residential setting
Strong knowledge of Ofsted regulations, children's home standards and inspection frameworks
Experience supporting young people with EBD and/or learning disabilities
The ability to build and stabilise a service and lead teams effectively
A genuine passion for improving the lives of vulnerable children and young people

Career Progression

This role offers excellent long-term progression. Once the home has been successfully registered and stabilised with a positive Ofsted outcome, there is potential to progress into a Responsible Individual (RI) position within the next 2 years as the organisation grows.

Why This Role?

Competitive salary of £55,000
Opportunity to lead and shape a new service
Clear career progression pathway
Work with a provider focused on quality and long-term stability rather than rapid expansion
