Registered Manager – New 3 Bed EBD Children’s Home

📍 Birmingham (B36)
💰 £45,000 – £50,000 (Single Registration)
💰 Up to £60,000 (Dual Registration)
🎯 + Ofsted Registration Success Bonus
🕒 Flexible Start | New Service Launch | Ofsted Registration Phase


The Registered Manager Mandate

We are working in close partnership with a progressive care provider to appoint an exceptional Registered Manager (or high-potential Deputy ready to step up) to lead the launch of a new 3-bed EBD children’s home in Birmingham.

This is a ground-up leadership opportunity—offering full ownership, strategic input, and the platform to build a service defined by quality and outcomes.

With the property nearing completion, the successful individual will be instrumental in the Ofsted registration process and will be named on the application, placing them at the centre of the service from inception.


The Registered Manager Opportunity

A genuinely career-elevating role, you will:

  • Lead the creation and launch of a new EBD home
  • Partner directly with senior leadership through registration and mobilisation
  • Shape the home’s ethos, culture, and therapeutic framework
  • Recruit and develop a handpicked, high-performing team
  • Drive standards toward Good and Outstanding outcomes

The Registered Manager Profile

We are seeking individuals with credibility, ambition, and leadership presence:

  • Established Registered Manager, or
  • Standout Deputy Manager ready to take the step up

Alongside:

  • Strong knowledge of Children’s Homes Regulations and Ofsted frameworks
  • Experience in, or readiness for, registration and inspection processes
  • A track record of leading teams and delivering quality care
  • A genuine passion for improving young people’s lives

The Registered Manager Package

  • 💰 £45,000 – £50,000 for standard Registered Manager scope
  • 💰 Up to £60,000 for candidates overseeing dual registration
  • 🎯 Bonus upon successful Ofsted registration
  • 🕒 Flexible start aligned with the home’s launch
  • 📈 Clear pathway for future progression and growth
  • 🤝 Direct access to senior stakeholders and decision-makers

Why Consider This

Opportunities to build a service from day one, shape its direction, and define its success are limited.

This role offers the autonomy, backing, and scope for someone looking to step into a high-impact leadership position and differentiate themselves in the sector.
