 Are you a compassionate leader with a passion for delivering exceptional support? We’re looking for a Registered Manager to shape and champion our short break services for children and young people with disabilities and complex health needs. In this pivotal role, you’ll inspire a dedicated team, uphold the highest standards of safeguarding and care, and work in close partnership with families and professionals to create a nurturing, inclusive environment where every child can thrive.

Why we think you’ll love this role

You’ll love this role if you’re driven by purpose and passionate about making a real difference in young people’s lives. Every day brings the opportunity to lead with heart, empower a dedicated team, and create a safe, engaging space where children and young people with disabilities can flourish. With the autonomy to shape services, the support of a committed team, and the chance to build lasting relationships with families and professionals, this is more than a job, it’s a chance to lead change, inspire others, and leave a legacy.

What you’ll be doing

We also encourage those from youth services, clinical roles like children’s nurses or clinical leads, and social work team managers. If you’ve led regulated services for children and young people and share our passion for high-quality support, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re ideally looking for someone with:

• A deep understanding of safeguarding, care planning, and regulatory compliance, including Ofsted standards
• A compassionate, child-centred approach that prioritises wellbeing, inclusion, and positive outcomes
• Strong people management skills with the ability to coach, develop, and inspire staff teams
• Excellent communication and partnership-building abilities with families, professionals, and external agencies
• Confidence in managing budgets, resources, and operational systems to ensure efficiency and quality
