The posting

Liquid Personnel is currently recruiting for a Children’s Registered Manager in Essex to support the opening of a Residential Family Centre in South Essex to Improve short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes for children and their families.

Role Overview:

The Registered Manager will provide strategic and operational leadership for a new Ofsted-regulated Residential Family Centre, ensuring safe, high-quality, trauma-informed assessment and support for families subject to care proceedings.

  • Play a central role in property readiness, environmental risk assessments, and mobilisation planning.
  • Develop staffing structures, rotas, induction and supervision frameworks aligned with regulatory expectations.
  • Support recruitment and onboarding of residential and community-based staff.
  • Work closely with the Responsible Individual to ensure the service is inspection-ready from day one.

Essential Requirements

  • Level 5 Diploma in Leadership & Management for Residential Childcare (or equivalent).
  • At least 2 years’ experience managing residential or intensive family support services.
  • Strong working knowledge of:
  • Care proceedings and parenting assessments
  • Safeguarding and risk management
  • Ofsted regulatory frameworks
  • Experience leading teams and managing complex services.
  • Commitment to trauma-informed, strengths-based practice.
  • Project management experience
  • Clean Driving license and full access to a road worthy vehicle

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
