Lead a Good-rated children's home with the support, stability and backing to make a lasting difference.

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Registered Manager to lead our established 3-bed children's home in Bristol. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an organisation with a strong regulatory track record, a clear commitment to quality, and a leadership team that understands the realities of managing a children's home.

You will have the opportunity to shape the culture of the home, support and develop your team, and make a meaningful difference to children who need consistency, care and ambition around them.

You will not be doing this alone. Our homes are overseen by an experienced Responsible Individual and a knowledgeable Head of Care, ensuring you have strong guidance, practical support and regular leadership input as you settle into the role and continue to develop the home.

As Registered Manager, you will lead the day-to-day running of the home, maintaining high standards of care, safeguarding, compliance and outcomes for children, while building a positive, reflective and supportive culture for your staff team.

Occupancy bonus: £175 per child after the first child. For example, a 3-bed home may attract two payments of £175, equating to £350 per month
Ofsted performance bonuses: £500 for a Good report and £1,000 for an Outstanding report
On-call payments: £10 per day Monday to Friday and £50 per day on Saturday and Sunday
22 days' annual leave, plus bank holidays
Non-contributory pension with a 9% employer contribution
Company sick pay after successful completion of probation
Enhanced sick pay of five days' full sick pay
Ongoing support, training and development to help you lead the home effectively and continue your professional development

About You

You will be a values-led and resilient leader who is committed to making a meaningful difference to the lives of children. You will bring a positive, non-judgemental approach and a strong commitment to listening to children, understanding their wishes and feelings, and ensuring their voices influence the care and support they receive.

You will have:

A thorough knowledge of Children's Homes legislation, Ofsted inspection requirements, child protection and safeguarding procedures
A Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People's Workforce, or equivalent
Either have attained a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare, or be willing to complete this
A minimum of two years' experience within the last five years in a role relevant to the residential care of children
At least one year's experience supervising and managing staff working in a care role
A full manual driving licence, access to your own car, business insurance, and the ability to undertake on-call duties, currently averaging around two on-call duties per month

About the Role

Lead and manage a 3-bed children's home in Bristol, ensuring that children receive high-quality, individualised care and support
Be accountable for the safe, effective and efficient running of the home, including leadership, administration, compliance and wider operational responsibilities
