Are you an experienced Registered Manager ready to take on an exciting new challenge and shape a service from the ground up?

We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established and highly supportive organisation launching a brand-new 2-bed Children’s EBD home in Selly Oak. This is a unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in developing an innovative service that will provide emergency placements for young people with emotional and behavioural needs.

The Role

As Registered Manager, you will take full responsibility for setting up, leading, and developing this new home. You’ll be instrumental in establishing a safe, nurturing, and responsive environment while ensuring compliance with Ofsted standards.

You will work closely alongside a highly respected Responsible Individual (RI) and a team with extensive experience in running successful children’s homes.

What’s on Offer

  • Competitive salary: £65,000 – £75,000
  • £10,000 bonus upon successful Ofsted registration
  • Opportunity to shape and lead a new service
  • Strong organisational backing and support
  • Career progression within an experienced provider

About You

We are looking for a passionate and driven leader who thrives in a startup-style environment and is ready to bring fresh ideas to children’s residential care.

Essential requirements:

  • Minimum 3 years’ experience as a Registered Manager within an Ofsted-regulated EBD home
  • Proven track record of Ofsted registrations and inspections
  • Strong leadership and team-building skills
  • In-depth knowledge of children’s residential care regulations

Key qualities:

  • Open to innovation and use of technology within care settings
  • Resilient and adaptable, particularly within an emergency placement environment
  • Committed to achieving the best outcomes for children and young people

Why Join?

This is more than just a job — it’s an opportunity to build something meaningful from day one, within a company that truly understands and supports children’s residential services. You’ll have the backing of experienced professionals while still having the autonomy to make the home your own.

If you’re ready for a rewarding leadership role where you can make a genuine impact, we’d love to hear from you.
