Are you a passionate and experienced leader ready to build an exceptional children's home from the ground up? A child-focused residential care provider is launching its first home in Llanelli, and they are seeking a Registered Manager to lead the way. This is a unique opportunity to shape a new service, grow a dedicated team, and make a tangible difference in the lives of young people.

This organisation is committed to putting children first. With planning permission approved for their first home in the SA17 area, they have a clear vision to establish 10+ high-quality children’s homes across South Wales over the next five to six years. If you're looking for a role with significant career progression and the chance to influence the ethos of a growing company, this is it.

The Role

As the Registered Manager, you will be instrumental in the launch of this new two-bed home for young people with learning disabilities (LD). Your key responsibilities will include:

• Overseeing the home’s CIW (Care Inspectorate Wales) registration process.

• Recruiting and developing a new, dedicated team.

• Ensuring the home operates in full compliance with regulations and maintains the highest standards of care and safeguarding.

• Leading with a child-centred, therapeutic approach to deliver outstanding outcomes.

• Future potential to dual-manage a second home, with a salary increase upon registration.

We are seeking to appoint the right candidate as soon as possible, with the opportunity to start before the home opens to help shape the service from day one.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will have:

• A minimum of two years of experience as a Registered Manager, Deputy Manager, or Senior Support Worker in a children’s residential setting.

• A proven track record with CIW or Ofsted inspections.

• Direct experience supporting young people with both Learning Disabilities (LD) and Emotional & Behavioural Difficulties (EBD).

• A genuine passion for developing staff and services.

• Strong leadership skills and in-depth knowledge of safeguarding.

Salary & Benefits

• Competitive starting salary of £42,000 - £45,000, rising to £52,000 upon dual registration of a second home.

• Performance-based bonuses and a family-friendly package, including additional holidays.

• Full support and mentorship from an experienced Responsible Individual and company directors.

• Unparalleled career progression as the company expands across South Wales.

This is a chance to build something exceptional. If you’re ready to take on this exciting challenge, apply now to join a mission-driven team and help create a home where children truly come first.
