Who we are looking for:
We are seeking an experienced Deputy Manager or aspiring Registered Manager who is looking to step into a progressive role with clear development into registration. This is a strong opportunity for someone confident in leadership, capable of deputising in a Manager’s absence, and motivated to be part of setting up a new service.
The successful candidate will initially be based within an established 2‑bed home, supporting the day‑to‑day running and deputising for a dual‑registered Manager. They will play a key role in maintaining standards, supporting staff, and ensuring consistent, high‑quality care delivery.
They will then transition into leading their own 2‑bed learning disability home following Ofsted registration, with full support throughout the process.
The role will involve:
- Deputising significantly in the Manager’s absence across a dual‑registered setup
- Supporting day‑to‑day operations, staff supervision, and care delivery
- Contributing to the set‑up and mobilisation of a new children’s home
- Working collaboratively with the Responsible Individual and Operations Director
- Supporting Ofsted registration (SC1), with most documentation already prepared
- Participating in a mix of shifts, including office hours and weekends
- Providing operational cover where required, including occasional sleep‑ins
Progression & Opportunity:
- Salary increase from £38,000 to £50,000 upon registration
- KPI‑based bonus structure once registered
- Full support through the Ofsted registration process
- Long‑term progression into dual registration or regional roles
Who you will be working for:
- Established provider with this being their fourth home
- Strong operational infrastructure with proven systems and processes
- Experienced senior leadership team offering hands‑on support
- Focus on quality, compliance, and sustainable growth
Why this opportunity stands out:
- Clear and supported pathway into Registered Manager
- Minimal administrative burden for registration (documents largely complete)
- Opportunity to be involved in launching and shaping a new service
- Stable existing provision to learn from before stepping into your own home
- Strong leadership support and structured onboarding
