Registered Children’s Home Manager (2 roles)
Salary: £55,461 – £59,414 pa
Location: Dudley, West Midlands
Contract: Permanent, full time
As we reopen and repurpose two homes, we have a rare and challenging opportunity for two experienced residential childcare leaders to shape and lead a high‑quality children’s home, with genuine influence over its culture, standards and outcomes that will make a meaningful difference to children and young people’s lives.
As Registered Children’s Home Manager, you will lead the day‑to‑day running of the home, ensuring children and young people receive safe, high‑quality care in a stable and nurturing environment. You will oversee care planning, safeguarding, compliance and Ofsted standards, while helping young people build confidence, develop independence and achieve positive outcomes.
You will also lead and develop the residential staff team, creating a positive culture focused on consistency, accountability and continuous improvement. Working closely with families, social workers, education providers and partner agencies, you will ensure each child receives the right support, while managing resources, performance and the overall quality of the service.
Who we’re looking for:
You are a passionate and values‑driven leader who believes wholeheartedly in the power of stable, nurturing homes to transform children’s lives. As a Registered Manager, you will bring not only experience and professional credibility, but a deep commitment to making a lasting difference for every child in your care.
You will lead with warmth, integrity and resilience creating a culture where children feel safe, valued, and able to thrive, and where staff are inspired to give their very best. This is a role for someone who sees beyond compliance to the real purpose of residential care: building relationships, changing life trajectories, and giving children the confidence and opportunities they deserve.
If you are motivated by impact, driven to continuously improve and ready to shape a home where children can truly belong, we would love to hear from you.
