We’re looking for a capable and motivated Deputy Manager who is ready to take the next step in their career, stepping into the Registered Manager role through a supported development plan. You’ll be mentored by a highly experienced Responsible Individual (RI) and supported day-to-day by a strong Senior Children’s Support Worker, giving you the space and confidence to grow into full registration while helping shape the home’s foundation.
This is the ideal opportunity for an ambitious senior practitioner or deputy looking to fast-track into home management with full backing.

- Ensure care plans, risk assessments, and support strategies are personalised, effective, and regularly reviewed.
- Promote a culture of safeguarding, inclusion, and accountability at all times.
- Assist with quality assurance processes, audits, and internal monitoring to prepare for inspection readiness.
Team & Child-Centred Leadership
- Support and develop care staff with supervision, coaching, and on-shift leadership.
- Be actively involved in recruitment, induction, and rota management.
- Foster a home where children feel safe, valued, and empowered to achieve their goals.
Who We’re Looking For
Essential:
- Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent)
- Minimum 2 years' experience in a children’s residential home, ideally at Senior/Deputy level
- Ready to step up and register as the Ofsted Registered Manager (with support)

- Excellent communication, leadership, and organisational skills
Desirable:
- Working toward or willing to undertake the Level 5 Diploma in Leadership & Management for Residential Childcare
