Registered Manager
Note: 2-3 Bed LD Home
Location: Twyford, Reading
Salary: Up to £65,000 per year
We are seeking an experienced Registered Manager or a confident Deputy Manager, ready to step up, to lead the setup and opening of the home from the ground up.
The service is being intentionally designed around attachment-focused, trauma-informed care, drawing on relational research and models.
This includes Dan Hughes’ PACE approach, Bruce Perry’s work on neurodevelopment and regulation, and Brené Brown’s research on connection, empathy and psychologically safe leadership.
Practice will centre on relationships, emotional safety, co-regulation and consistency, with behaviour understood as communication rather than something to be controlled or managed.
This is a rare opportunity to build a children’s home properly from day one, shaping the culture, recruiting and developing the team, embedding relational practice, and creating a calm, nurturing environment before the first child arrives.
It is not a turnaround role, but a chance to lead with purpose, integrity and professional autonomy.
Note: A Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management is essential.
