Elephant Recruitment Group
Barnoldswick, Lancashire
Registered Manager: Solo Children's Home Barnoldswick, Lancashire Our client is seeking a Registered Manager to lead a specialist solo children's home in Barnoldswick. This is an opportunity to join an established provider with a strong reputation for delivering highly individualised, trauma-informed care within a supportive local network of three homes. The service is built around a genuine commitment to listening to children and ensuring their voices shape the care they receive. Participation is not simply encouraged, it sits at the heart of every decision, guided by the principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. If you're looking for a leadership role where relationships, consistency and meaningful outcomes take priority over simply managing processes, this could be an excellent next step. About the Role: As Registered Manager, you'll lead a dedicated team supporting one young person aged 8 to 17 in a calm, therapeutic environment designed to provide stability, safety and individualised care. Working as part of a supportive three-home network, you'll have the opportunity to focus on delivering outstanding outcomes while benefiting from collaboration with experienced colleagues and senior leadership. Responsibilities include: • Providing safe, effective leadership for a solo children's home • Creating a nurturing, trauma-informed environment where children feel heard and valued • Leading, supporting and developing a committed residential team • Maintaining high standards in line with Children's Homes Regulations and Quality Standards • Overseeing care planning, safeguarding and quality assurance • Working closely with education, health and local authority professionals • Supporting a culture where children's participation and individual voice shape everyday practice • Managing the home with clear support from senior leaders and the wider local management network What Makes This Opportunity Different: This provider has developed a genuinely child-centred model designed around one young person at a time. Their solo provision enables children who have experienced trauma, disrupted attachments, neurodiversity or emotional regulation difficulties to receive highly consistent care from a small, dedicated team. Their therapeutic approach is rooted in PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy), recognising that meaningful relationships come before behavioural management. Education is equally individualised, with bespoke learning programmes delivered through the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and AQA Unit Award Scheme. Outdoor learning, adventure activities and real-life experiences are woven into everyday care, helping young people rebuild confidence, resilience and self-belief. As part of a local three-home network, you'll benefit from shared leadership, collaboration and ongoing support rather than working in isolation. About You: We're looking for an experienced leader who combines strong regulatory knowledge with a calm, reflective and child-focused approach. You'll ideally have: • Previous experience as a Registered Manager, or be an experienced Deputy Manager ready for registration • Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare (or working towards) • Strong knowledge of Children's Homes Regulations and Quality Standards • Experience leading and developing residential childcare teams • A therapeutic, trauma-informed approach to leadership • Confidence building positive relationships with children, families and professionals • A commitment to participation, inclusion and children's rights Why Join? This is an opportunity to join a provider whose practice is firmly rooted in children's rights, therapeutic care and long-term outcomes. You'll benefit from: • Salary of £50,000 • Leadership within a supportive three-home local network • Solo therapeutic model allowing highly individualised care • Established trauma-informed practice based on PACE • Opportunities for continued professional development • A provider committed to participation, children's voices and meaningful outcomes • A culture focused on sustainable leadership and long-term staff development How to Apply: If you're looking for a Registered Manager role where you'll be well supported while making a genuine difference to the life of a young person, we'd love to hear from you.
