Registered Manager – Supported Solo Home with Strong Foundations

Stoke-on-Trent | £50,000–£55,000 + Ofsted Bonuses | Flexible Working Considered

Our client is seeking an experienced Registered Manager to lead a solo EBD home in Stoke-on-Trent. This is not a step-up role – it’s an opportunity for a proven leader with recent GOOD+ Ofsted outcomes to take on a service that’s stable, well-run, and ready for its next chapter.

The current manager is stepping up to become the Responsible Individual, offering the incoming manager ongoing guidance and a thoughtful handover. With a highly experienced and settled staff team already in place, the focus is on continued quality, not crisis management.

About the Role:

• Lead a solo placement service with the child already in placement

• Guide a stable, well-performing team through the next stage of development

• Maintain high standards in care planning, safeguarding, and daily operations

• Work closely with the new RI to ensure consistency and shared accountability

• Support existing team culture while bringing your own leadership strengths

What Makes This Opportunity Different:

• Smooth leadership transition with the current manager stepping into the RI role

• Settled staff team and positive culture already in place

• Flexible working considered by agreement

• Strong track record of GOOD+ Ofsted inspections

• Clear pathway to oversee a future second home, if desired

About You:

• Must have recent experience as a Registered Manager with GOOD+ Ofsted outcomes

• Confident, resilient leader with a calm, reflective style

• Strong background in EBD residential childcare

• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Residential Childcare (or equivalent)

• Committed to sustainable leadership, staff development and therapeutic care

Why Join:

• £50,000–£55,000 salary + performance-related Ofsted bonuses

• Flexible working options considered

• Supportive and experienced RI relationship

• Opportunity to help shape future expansion plans

• Work with a values-led provider focused on stability, not volume
