Are you a passionate, experienced leader in residential childcare? Are you ready to take the reins and build something truly special?

We’re offering an extraordinary opportunity for a dedicated Children’s Home Manager to shape and lead a brand-new solo placement home in Keighley — a unique setting focused on one child, total care, and complete impact.

This isn’t just another home. This is your chance to design and deliver bespoke, life-changing care in an environment where quality always trumps occupancy. If you believe in doing things right, not fast, this is your home.

Why This Role?

• Competitive Salary: £50,000 – £70,000 + generous bonus structure (up to £80k OTE)

• Welcome Bonus: £5,000 relocation or sign-on 

• Career Growth: Be part of an ambitious, expanding organization with real opportunities for progression

• Work-Life Balance: 28 days of annual leave plus company events and a supportive team culture

• Recognition & Rewards: Ofsted and attendance performance bonuses, pension contributions, and more

• Impact-Driven: Build deep, therapeutic relationships with a single child, making a measurable difference every day

What You’ll Be Doing

• Founding and managing a new solo placement home from the ground up

• Recruiting and leading a passionate team of care professionals

• Setting exceptional standards in child protection, safety, and emotional wellbeing

• Working closely with families, agencies, and partners to ensure consistent, tailored care

• Ensuring every aspect of the home reflects excellence, compassion, and compliance

What You’ll Need

• Minimum 2 years in a residential childcare leadership role (Deputy or above)

• At least 2 years' experience working in a children's home setting

• Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent)

• Level 5 Diploma (or willing to work toward)

• Full UK driving license

• A calm, confident approach to managing challenging behaviour

• Flexibility to support your team and home when needed

Make Your Career Count

This is more than a job – it’s a mission. You’ll be joining a values-driven organization that invests in people, prioritizes outcomes over numbers, and gives you the freedom to lead with purpose.

Whether you're looking to step up from a Deputy role or bring your seasoned experience into a setting that truly values therapeutic care, this is your chance to shape a home that changes a life.
