Registered Manager - Children's Home

Registered Manager

2-3 Bed LD Home

Twyford, Reading

Up to £65,000 per year

We are seeking an experienced Registered Manager, or a confident Deputy Manager ready to step up, to lead the setup and opening of the home from the ground up.

The service is being intentionally designed around attachment-focused, trauma-informed care, drawing on relational research and models including Dan Hughes PACE approach, Bruce Perry s work on neurodevelopment and regulation, and Brené Brown s research on connection, empathy and psychologically safe leadership. Practice will centre on relationships, emotional safety, co-regulation and consistency, with behaviour understood as communication rather than something to be controlled or managed.

This is a rare opportunity to build a children s home properly from day one, shaping the culture, recruiting and developing the team, embedding relational practice, and creating a calm, nurturing environment before the first child arrives. It is not a turnaround role, but a chance to lead with purpose, integrity and professional autonomy.

A Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management is essential.
