Registered Manager – Assessment & Transition Home (Strong Oversight Role)

Salary: £55,000–£60,000 DOE

Location & Context:

A specialist children’s home designed to support young people for shorter periods of assessment and stabilisation, before they move on to longer-term homes that best meet their needs.

The service plays a crucial role within a wider residential pathway, offering clarity, structure and informed planning at a key point in a young person’s journey.

Introduction:

This Registered Manager role is about oversight, judgement and consistency. The home is not long-term, and the focus is not on crisis-led care, but on providing a safe, well-run environment where young people can be understood, supported and carefully assessed.

You’ll work within a clear framework, supported by senior leadership and established systems, enabling you to lead with confidence and keep the service calm, purposeful and well organised.

About the Role:

• Providing overall oversight of an assessment-led residential service

• Managing planned and emergency admissions for short-term placements

• Leading effective assessment, observation and transition planning

• Ensuring consistency, boundaries and therapeutic structure during placements

• Supporting staff to work confidently with change and transition

• Maintaining strong governance, quality assurance and regulatory compliance

• Working closely with senior leaders, commissioners and other homes to support onward moves

What Makes This Opportunity Different:

• A clearly defined assessment-focused service with realistic timeframes

• Emphasis on oversight, planning and decision-making rather than long-term care delivery

• Strong organisational backing and shared leadership responsibility

• Clear expectations around role scope and accountability

• A provider that understands sustainability and retention at Registered Manager level

About You:

Experience & Qualifications:

• Experienced Registered Manager, or a confident Deputy ready for a supported step up

• Level 5 in Children's Leadership & Management 

Personal Qualities:

• Calm, structured and measured leadership style

• Confident overseeing short-term placements and frequent transitions

• Clear decision-maker with strong professional judgement

• Values-led and child-focused

Why Join:

• £55,000–£60,000 DOE

• A role built around clarity, structure and professional oversight

• Leadership support and ongoing CPD

• A sustainable leadership position with defined boundaries

• Long-term career progression with a stable provider
