Registered Manager-Children's Residential Home

£55,000 - £70,000 DOE + Performance Bonus Full Time | Matlock

Delphi Care Solutions are recruiting on behalf of a growing children's residential care provider

Delphi Care Solutions is delighted to be supporting the recruitment of an experienced Registered Manager for a children's residential home.

This is an opportunity for a strong leader who wants more than responsibility for compliance and day-to-day operations. It is an opportunity to lead a home, develop a team, shape culture, and ensure children receive the stability, care, and support they deserve.

Our client is committed to providing safe, nurturing, and high-quality residential care for children and young people. They recognise that successful homes are built by strong leadership, consistent practice, effective safeguarding, and teams that genuinely understand the needs of the children in their care.

As Registered Manager, you will play a central role in driving standards, supporting staff, and ensuring children experience a home where they feel safe, valued, listened to, and supported to make progress.

The Opportunity

This role would suit either:

  • An experienced Registered Manager seeking a fresh challenge with a quality-focused provider, or
  • An ambitious Deputy Manager who meets the regulatory requirements and is ready to take the next step in their career.

You will have responsibility for the overall leadership and management of the home, ensuring it operates in line with the Children's Homes (England) Regulations 2015, Quality Standards, safeguarding requirements, and the home's Statement of Purpose.

Working alongside senior leaders, you will have the autonomy to lead your service while receiving the support required to succeed.

  • Ensuring children are protected from harm and receive appropriate support.

Quality, Compliance & Ofsted

  • Leading the home in accordance with Children's Homes Regulations and Quality Standards.
  • Maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements.
  • Preparing for and leading Ofsted inspections.
  • Completing and overseeing quality assurance processes.

  • Driving continuous improvement across the service.

Care Planning & Outcomes

  • Maintaining oversight of care plans, placement plans, and risk assessments.
  • Monitoring children's progress and development.
  • Promoting education, health, wellbeing, and independence.
  • Ensuring children have access to appropriate support and services.
  • Working collaboratively with professionals to achieve positive outcomes.
