The posting

Liquid Personnel is recruiting for its client’s Registered Manager role in Park Royal, London. This is an excellent opportunity for a confident and forward‑thinking leader within the fostering sector to make a meaningful and lasting impact. Our client is a well‑established Independent Fostering Agency (IFA), rated “Good,” and is seeking a committed Registered Manager to provide strong leadership, drive best practice, and support positive outcomes for children and foster families.

This role is ideal for a strategic professional who can balance high‑level compliance with a genuine, child‑centred approach. You will lead an experienced team of Social Workers to deliver exceptional support to foster families and ensure the safety and wellbeing of children in care.

What will your responsibilities be?

In this role, you will:

  • Strategic Leadership: Direct the day‑to‑day operations of the agency, ensuring alignment with the Fostering Services Regulations 2011 and the National Minimum Standards (NMS).
  • Safeguarding Excellence: Act as the designated Safeguarding Lead, managing all concerns with precision and serving as the primary point of contact for external agencies and the LADO.
  • Team Development: Supervise, mentor, and inspire a team of Social Workers, fostering a culture of professional growth and high‑quality practice.
  • Service Growth: Oversee the recruitment, assessment (Form F), and retention of foster carers, with a particular focus on specialist placements such as Parent and Child.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Maintain the agency’s high standards in preparation for Ofsted inspections, including the completion of Regulation 35 reports and robust monthly auditing.
  • Stakeholder Management: Build and maintain strong, collaborative relationships with Local Authority commissioners.

Qualifications and experience

  • Qualified Social Worker: Must hold a Degree or Diploma in Social Work and be currently registered with Social Work England.
  • Proven track record: Experience in a senior leadership or Registered Manager capacity within a fostering setting is essential.
  • Management credential: Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management (or an equivalent qualification or willingness to work towards one).
  • Expert knowledge: A thorough, working understanding of the Children Act 1989 and current Fostering Regulations.
  • Flexibility: A valid UK driving licence and the ability to participate in an out‑of‑hours on‑call rota.

Reasonable Adjustments:

If you consider yourself to have a disability or require any reasonable adjustment during the recruitment process or within the workplace, please highlight this at the earliest opportunity by contacting our team. With this information, we will provide appropriate support to you throughout the process and into your work placement.

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.
