About the Role

As Registered Manager, you will play a pivotal role in launching and shaping a brand-new provision.

  • Develop and embed a strong culture, ethos, and operational framework
  • Oversee the phased growth of the home in a safe and structured way
  • Recruit, lead, and develop a skilled and committed staff team
  • Build a clear management structure, including Deputy Managers
  • Deliver high‑quality, specialist care for children with learning disabilities
  • Work collaboratively with the on‑site school and Headteacher
  • Take responsibility as Designated Safeguarding Lead
  • Ensure compliance with Children’s Homes Regulations 2015

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience as a Registered Manager within children’s residential care
  • Strong background supporting children with learning disabilities (essential)
  • Experience with Ofsted registration and inspections
  • Excellent leadership, organisational, and communication skills
  • Passion for delivering outstanding outcomes for children and young people

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary of £70,000 – £90,000+ with performance‑related bonuses
  • 40 hours per week contract
  • Generous annual leave: 35 days (including bank holidays)
  • On‑call allowance: £20 per day
  • Opportunity to lead and shape a flagship service from day one

Why Join Us?

Bradbury House offers a rare opportunity to create something truly meaningful — a safe, supportive, and empowering home where children with learning disabilities can thrive. You’ll be at the heart of building a service that sets the standard for excellence.

Apply now to be part of this exciting journey and make a lasting difference.
