Dual Registered Manager – Luxury Children's Homes

Location: Great Barr & Handsworth Wood (B20 / B43)

Salary: Up to £65,000 per annum + Performance Bonus

Start Date: May / June 2026 (Ideal for candidates with a 3-month notice period)

Ofsted Status: New Commission (Registration in progress)

Are you a high-performing Deputy Manager ready for your first Registered Manager post, or an experienced RM looking to lead a flagship service?

We are seeking a Dual Registered Manager to oversee two brand-new, luxury 2-bed children’s homes in North Birmingham. These homes are being developed to an extraordinary standard—featuring games rooms, dual living spaces, and high-end finishes—designed to provide the very best environment for the children in our care.

Under the mentorship of a fantastic RI - a former local authority troubleshooter and specialist in service transformation—you will be supported by a leader who values high standards, child-centred practice, and the well-being of his staff.

The Role & Structure

• Strategic Leadership: Oversee two 2-bed homes located just one minute apart, ensuring a seamless management approach across the B20 and B43 postcodes.

• Team Build: You will have a dedicated Deputy Manager across the services, supported by Seniors and RSWs in each individual home.

• Therapeutic Model: We lead with the PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy) model, ensuring a therapeutic heart is at the centre of everything we do.

• Autonomy: This is a rare opportunity to "put your stamp" on a new service from the ground up, with planning permission already secured for the first home.

What We Are Looking For

• The Right Move: We are specifically looking for candidates with a long notice period (ideally 3 months). We do not want an immediate start; we want the right person.

• Experience: Either an experienced Registered Manager with a proven track record of "Good" or "Outstanding" Ofsted ratings, or a highly experienced Deputy Manager ready to step up.

• Values: You must be passionate, child-centered, and committed to maintaining the "luxurious" standards of these homes.

• Expertise: Familiarity with the PACE model and a deep understanding of Children’s Homes Regulations 2015.

The Package & Perks

• Salary: A highly competitive base of up to £65,000.

• Performance Bonus: Rewarding your success in registration and Ofsted outcomes.

• Work-Life Balance: The organisation respects personal lives and offers a high degree of flexibility.

• On-Call: Shared on-call between the Manager and Deputy, with the RI providing second-tier safeguarding support.

• Growth: Significant personal development opportunities 

Requirements

• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare (or equivalent).

• Full UK Driving Licence.

• Proven history of ensuring high standards and regulatory compliance.

Interviews are taking place now for a May/June 2026 commencement.
