Location: Tiverton, Devon

Salary: £52,000 + On-Call

Are you an ambitious leader looking for a "blank canvas" opportunity? Following the internal promotion of both the previous Registered Manager and Deputy, we are looking for a visionary leader to take the reins of this established 3-bed SEMH home near Tiverton.

This role offers the rare chance to recruit your own team and shape the culture of a home that is already performing well, all while benefiting from a work-life balance that is virtually unheard of in residential care.

The Standout Benefits

The 9-Day Fortnight: Work 9 days every two weeks. You get an extra day off of your choice every other week.

*

Unrivalled Leave: This pattern equates to 57 days (11.4 weeks) of annual leave per year.

*

Embedded Therapy: You are supported by an internal multidisciplinary team (OTs, SALT, Art, Drama, and Music therapists). Every staff member is trained in therapeutic language.

*

True Progression: We have a proven track record of promoting our managers into Senior RM and Operations roles.

*

Autonomy: Freedom to recruit your own team and implement your own creative ideas.

The Role

As the Registered Manager, you will oversee a 3-bed therapeutic home for children with SEMH needs. We believe in "Fun & Adventure," so we need a manager who values outdoor activities and knows the local Tiverton area well enough to plan incredible experiences for our young people.

*

Financials: £52,000 basic salary.

*

On-Call: £40 allowance for Friday, Saturday, Sunday (FSS).

*

Child-Centred: Every child receives a £300 budget to personalise their bedroom.

*

Culture: A relaxed but professional environment where PACE-style approaches are the standard.

Requirements

*

Experience: Proven track record as a Registered Manager or an experienced Deputy Manager within an SEMH residential setting.

*

Qualifications: Level 5 Diploma in Leadership & Management (Children’s Residential) is essential.

*

Mindset: A strong therapeutic background and a passion for child-led, active care.

*

Knowledge: Strong understanding of Ofsted regulations and the "Good" to "Outstanding" journey.
