• Working closely with local authorities, families, and other professionals to get the best outcomes for young people.
• Managing resources and budgets so the home is secure, sustainable, and thriving.
• Being part of the on-call rota to ensure 24/7 support when needed.

What we’re looking for

• Experience in residential childcare – at least 2 years in the last 5 years.
• At least 1 year leading or supervising a team in a care setting.
• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare (England) (or willingness to work towards it).
• A resilient, approachable leader who can stay calm under pressure and bring out the best in people.
• Someone who cares deeply about children’s wellbeing and is driven to give them the best start in life.

Why join us?

• The chance to shape a service that truly changes lives.
• Ongoing training and development – we’ll invest in your growth.
• A supportive, values-driven organisation that celebrates success and encourages new ideas.
• Real purpose, real impact – and the reward of seeing children flourish under your care.

If you’re ready to lead with heart as well as head, and you want a role where you can genuinely make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
