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.

We support young people with complex needs, trauma histories, emotional and behavioural needs, learning disabilities and life experiences that may have shaped how they see themselves, other people and the world around them. Our role is not simply to manage behaviour. It is to understand the story behind it, build trust, create emotional safety and help young people believe that positive change is possible. We are now looking for an experienced and committed Deputy House Manager to support the leadership of one of our specialist solo children s homes. This is a hands-on leadership position. You will support the Registered House Manager, lead shifts, guide the staff team and remain a visible and active presence within the home.

About the Role As Deputy House Manager, you will play a key role in ensuring the home operates safely, effectively and to consistently high standards. You will support the Registered House Manager with the day-to-day operation of the service, staff leadership, rota coordination, supervision, care planning, safeguarding, quality assurance and the overall culture of the home.

Participating in the on-call rota while role-modelling calm, respectful, visible and accountable leadership. What We Are Looking For We are looking for someone who is emotionally intelligent, resilient and able to balance warmth, compassion and professional accountability. You must be confident supporting young people with complex needs while also guiding staff to deliver safe, consistent and therapeutic care. You will need: A Level 2 or Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare, or another relevant care qualification. At least two years experience working within care, ideally within children s residential services. Experience working as a Senior Support Worker, Team Leader or in another shift-leading position. Strong safeguarding knowledge and a clear understanding of professional boundaries. Knowledge of the Children s Homes Regulations and the expectations of Ofsted and/or Care Inspectorate Wales. The ability to manage challenging, emotionally heightened or high-risk situations calmly and effectively. Strong written and verbal communication skills, including confidence producing clear and professional records. Confidence using IT systems and electronic care-recording platforms within a paperless service. A full UK driving licence, access to a vehicle and a willingness to work towards a Level 5 qualification where required. What Will Make You Successful You will be successful in this role if you can lead from the front, remain calm under pressure and hold people to high standards without losing compassion. You will need to notice when practice is drifting, provide direction when staff need guidance and ensure the young person remains at the centre of every decision. You must be organised, reliable and confident managing records, rotas, safeguarding responsibilities, communication and professional accountability. This role requires someone who can support both the young person and the staff team. You must be visible, consistent and brave enough to challenge poor practice when necessary.

As Deputy House Manager, you will be central to building and sustaining that culture. Why Join Arbour Healthcare Group? A permanent, full-time leadership position within a specialist children s residential home. Performance-based incentives and an enhanced annual leave allowance. A therapeutic care model supported by bespoke training and professional development. Leadership development and genuine opportunities for career progression. Support to complete relevant Level 3 or Level 5 qualifications where required. A company pension scheme, together with meals and essential refreshments while on shift. A supportive senior leadership structure, a strong sense of shared purpose and the opportunity to help shape a home, develop a team and improve young people s lives. Our Expectations This is a leadership role, and the expectations are appropriately high. You will be expected to be present, proactive and accountable. You must lead on the floor rather than from the sidelines. You will support the Registered House Manager, guide the team, understand the young person s needs and help ensure the home remains safe, structured, well-led and inspection-ready. You must be able to use digital systems confidently, as Arbour Healthcare Group operates paperless services. You will also be expected to participate in the on-call rota and contribute to the wider leadership requirements of the service.
