Registered Manager - Children's Homes
Health & Social Care Hayes Permanent Feb 25, 2026

Health & Social Care

Locations: Hayes & Ealing
Salary: £57,000 – £67,000 per annum (DOE)
Contract: Full-time, Permanent

We’re working exclusively with an emerging, well-prepared children’s residential provider who is opening two brand-new homes in West London and is now seeking Registered Managers to take both services through final registration and into operation.

These will be the provider’s first homes, but they are entering the sector with strong foundations — including an experienced Responsible Individual already in place, planning approval secured, and a robust professional network offering ongoing operational support. Both homes are ready for the final stage of registration and now require the right leaders to sign off and bring them to life.

• Hayes – 4-bed children’s home, likely EBD focused

• Ealing – Large 6-bed property, suited to therapeutic care and potentially Learning Disabilities (LD)

Each home has been designed with quality, stability, and long-term outcomes in mind, offering an excellent platform for a manager who wants to shape a service properly from day one.

As Registered Manager, you will:

• Lead the final stages of Ofsted registration

• Shape the home’s ethos, care model, and operational standards

• Recruit, develop, and lead your staff team

• Ensure compliance with Children’s Homes Regulations and Quality Standards

• Deliver safe, therapeutic, child-centred care

• Work closely with the RI and ownership team to embed best practice

We’re keen to speak with:

• Experienced Registered Managers, or

• Exceptional Deputy Managers ready for their first RM role

You’ll bring:

• Strong knowledge of Ofsted regulations and safeguarding

• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership & Management (or working towards)

• A values-led, child-first approach

• Confidence setting up and leading a home

• £57,000 – £67,000 salary (depending on experience)

• Experienced RI support throughout registration and beyond

• Genuine autonomy to shape your service

• Long-term progression as the provider grows

• An urgent, ready-to-go opportunity with motivated owners

If you’re ready to take ownership of a new home and be part of something built the right way from the start, we’d love to speak with you.
