A rare, structured step-up role for an experienced Registered Manager who’s ready to move into operational leadership — while still running a home with clarity and care.

You’ll lead a 5-bed children’s home in Grantham, currently Outstanding and at full occupancy, with a stable and experienced team. The current RM is stepping into senior leadership, and the home is in an excellent position for a smooth transition.

This is the provider’s first step in a new regional structure — backed by a strong track record of promoting from within. For the first 3–5 months, you’ll focus on registration, culture-building, and understanding the therapeutic model. You’ll then progress into a Junior Operations Manager role overseeing multiple homes.

About the Role:

• Lead an Outstanding-rated, 5-bed home with full occupancy
• Register with Ofsted and manage the transition with full senior support
• Build on a settled, therapeutic culture with a strong team in place
• Step into a Junior Operations Manager role within 6–12 months
• Contribute to wider regional leadership and service development

What Makes This Exciting:

• Structured career progression — from RM to ops leadership
• Strong senior support and an intentional, phased handover
• Provider known for thoughtful development and internal progression
• Real opportunity to shape regional practice and culture

About You:

• Current Registered Manager or equivalent leadership experience
• Level 5 in Leadership & Management for Residential Childcare
• Clear, confident leadership style with emotional intelligence
• Solid understanding of trauma-informed care and Ofsted standards
• Ambition to move into operational leadership

Why Join:

• Salary up to £60,000
• Outstanding home with full team and strong foundations
• Supportive provider with genuine career routes
• Focus on culture, development, and long-term care quality
