The posting

Bicester, Oxfordshire

£52,000 - £58,000 + Performance Bonus + Relocation Support

Lead the Launch of a Brand-New Specialist Children's Home

Delphi Care Solutions is proud to be partnering with a growing children's care provider to recruit a Founding Registered Children's Home Manager for a brand-new specialist residential service in Bicester.

This is a rare opportunity to take the lead from day one. You'll play a pivotal role in opening, registering and shaping a specialist home supporting children and young people with autism, learning disabilities and complex needs.

If you're looking for more than just another management role and want the opportunity to build a service, create a positive culture and leave a lasting legacy, we would love to hear from you.

What's On Offer?

  • Salary of £52,000 - £58,000 depending on experience
  • Performance-related bonus scheme
  • Relocation support available
  • 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Birthday day off
  • Blue Light Card discounts
  • Free meals whilst on shift
  • Free onsite parking
  • Ongoing professional development
  • Support from experienced sector specialists
  • Genuine progression opportunities as the organisation grows

The Role

As the Registered Manager, you will take ownership of the home's journey from registration through to successful operation.

You will work closely with the Responsible Individual and sector experts to ensure the home achieves the highest standards of care, safeguarding, compliance and outcomes for children and young people.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Registered Manager seeking a fresh challenge or a strong Deputy Manager ready for their first registration.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the Ofsted registration process
  • Develop and implement the Statement of Purpose
  • Recruit, lead and develop a high-performing care team
  • Ensure full compliance with Children's Homes Regulations and Quality Standards
  • Promote a positive and nurturing culture within the home
  • Maintain high standards of safeguarding and risk management
  • Build strong relationships with local authorities, families and professionals
  • Oversee care planning, staffing, budgets and home performance
  • Drive continuous improvement and quality assurance

About You

Essential

  • Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare
  • Experience within children's residential care
  • Strong understanding of Ofsted regulations and safeguarding requirements
  • Experience supporting children with autism, learning disabilities or complex needs
  • Excellent leadership and team development skills
  • Passionate about achieving positive outcomes for children and young people

Desirable

  • Previous Registered Manager experience
  • Experience opening or registering a new children's home
  • Knowledge of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)
  • Experience working within specialist SEN or learning disability services

Why Apply?

This is not simply another Registered Manager vacancy.

This is an opportunity to help create a home from the ground up, recruit your own team, develop the culture, influence the future direction of the service and make a genuine difference to the lives of children and young people.

For ambitious managers who want autonomy, support and career progression, opportunities like this don't come around often.

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.
