Registered Manager

Solo Children's Home | GOOD Ofsted Rating | Small Staff Team

FED UP WITH WALKING INTO HOMES THAT NEED FIXING?

This one doesn't.

Oak Tree Lodge is an established solo children's home with a GOOD Ofsted rating, supporting just one young person with a small, dedicated staff team.

We're looking for an experienced Registered Manager who wants to take charge of a strong service, maintain high standards and focus on what residential childcare should actually be about — leading a great team and achieving excellent outcomes for one young person.

No huge staff team.

No multi-bed home.

No walking into a service that needs rebuilding from scratch.

Just one home, one young person, a small team and a very attractive package.

£60,000 basic salary

Up to £5,000 joining bonus

Up to £5,000 Ofsted rating bonus

£300 per month on-call allowance

That gives you a potential first-year package of up to £73,600!

You'll also receive the backing of an experienced senior management team who understand children's residential care and will give you the support and autonomy to run your home properly.

Oak Tree Lodge is a solo children's residential home, meaning the entire service is focused on the needs and development of one young person.

Our most recent Ofsted inspection rated the home GOOD, and our aim is simple: maintain those standards and continue developing the home into an outstanding service.

Because this is a solo provision, you'll work with a small staff team, allowing you to genuinely know your team, understand the young person and remain close to the day-to-day quality of care.

For the right Registered Manager, this is an opportunity to run a focused, well-supported home without many of the headaches that come with managing a large multi-bed service.

As Registered Manager, you'll have overall responsibility for Oak Tree Lodge and will:

We want someone who knows children's residential care and doesn't need their hand held.

You'll ideally already be an experienced Registered Manager who wants a role where you can concentrate on running a great home rather than constantly firefighting.

We would also consider a high-calibre Deputy Manager with substantial experience who is genuinely ready to step into Registered Management.

Experience of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), PACE, trauma-informed practice, attachment-informed care and restorative approaches would be advantageous.

WHY OAK TREE LODGE?

Because sometimes a Registered Manager role doesn't need to mean inheriting chaos.
