Job Description

Registered Children’s Home Manager
Location: Goldthorn, Wolverhampton
Salary: £60,000 per annum

We are seeking a highly experienced Registered Manager to lead the setup and registration of a brand-new one-bed children’s home providing solo placements with a 2:1 staffing ratio.

This is a challenging and rewarding role, suited to a resilient, confident professional who is experienced in working with young people who present complex and challenging behaviours—and who is not fazed by high expectations or responsibility.

About the Home

• One-bed solo placement
• 2:1 staffing model
• Located in Goldthorn, Wolverhampton – an affluent, quiet area
• Planning permission approved and ready to move into the next phase

You will play a key role in shaping the home from the ground up, giving you the opportunity to put your own stamp on its culture, systems, and practice. You will work actively in setting up the home, supported by the Responsible Individual (RI), before progressing through recruitment and the Ofsted registration process.

The Ideal Candidate Will Have:

• Significant experience working with challenging young people
• Proven Ofsted inspection outcomes of “Good” or above, achieved in their own right (not under a previous manager)
• Strong leadership, resilience, and the ability to manage a demanding environment
• Experience in preparing for and completing Ofsted registration and inspections
• A full UK driving licence (essential)
• DBS Update Service membership (desirable)

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary of £60,000
• A rare opportunity to establish and lead a new home from inception
• Ongoing guidance and support from an experienced RI
• The chance to build a high-quality service with strong values and outcomes

If you are an experienced, driven Registered Manager looking for a role where your expertise truly matters, we would welcome your application.
