About The Role Let's be honest. This isn't a job advert for everyone. If you've worked in residential childcare, you'll know that organisations face challenges. Compass has been no different. Some homes have experienced periods of instability. We've made decisions that, with hindsight, could have been better. Some homes have closed, some teams have changed, and we've listened carefully to feedback from colleagues, regulators and the children we support. Rather than ignore that, we've chosen to learn from it. We've strengthened our governance, invested in therapeutic services and increased the support available to our Registered Managers. And we've become clearer about the kind of organisation we want to be. That's where this role comes in. We're looking for a Registered Manager who doesn't just want to maintain standards - but wants to help shape them. Someone who sees opportunity where others see difficulty. Someone who can build trust, create stability and create a home where children genuinely thrive. If you're looking for an easy role, this isn't it. If you're looking for a challenging and meaningful role, we'd love to hear from you. What Compass offers you You carry significant responsibility. You deserve more than a salary and benefits package. You deserve to be trusted, listened to and respected as the professional leader of your home. That means a genuine voice, support when things are difficult, and leaders who work alongside you and not from the sidelines. The package We recognise that exceptional leaders deserve exceptional reward. Salary and bonus - competitive salary based on experience and home complexity, plus a performance bonus of up to £18,000 annually, paid quarterly Leave - 224 hours rising to 248 after four years, plus additional leave for your birthday, wellbeing, volunteering and festive celebrations Development - leadership development, Level 7 qualification support, specialist therapeutic training and coaching from experienced operational leaders Wellbeing - MediCash cashback on dental, optical and physiotherapy, employee support programmes and dedicated specialist teams around you Additional benefits - Group Life Assurance, relocation support and refer-a-friend incentives Because when our Registered Managers thrive, our teams thrive.

About The Role Let's be honest. This isn't a job advert for everyone. If you've worked in residential childcare, you'll know that organisations face challenges. Compass has been no different. Some homes have experienced periods of instability. We've made decisions that, with hindsight, could have been better. Some homes have closed, some teams have changed, and we've listened carefully to feedback from colleagues, regulators and the children we support. Rather than ignore that, we've chosen to learn from it. We've strengthened our governance, invested in therapeutic services and increased the support available to our Registered Managers. And we've become clearer about the kind of organisation we want to be. That's where this role comes in. We're looking for a Registered Manager who doesn't just want to maintain standards - but wants to help shape them. Someone who sees opportunity where others see difficulty. Someone who can build trust, create stability and create a home where children genuinely thrive. If you're looking for an easy role, this isn't it. If you're looking for a challenging and meaningful role, we'd love to hear from you. What Compass offers you You carry significant responsibility. You deserve more than a salary and benefits package. You deserve to be trusted, listened to and respected as the professional leader of your home. That means a genuine voice, support when things are difficult, and leaders who work alongside you and not from the sidelines. The package We recognise that exceptional leaders deserve exceptional reward. Salary and bonus - competitive salary based on experience and home complexity, plus a performance bonus of up to £18,000 annually, paid quarterly Leave - 224 hours rising to 248 after four years, plus additional leave for your birthday, wellbeing, volunteering and festive celebrations Development - leadership development, Level 7 qualification support, specialist therapeutic training and coaching from experienced operational leaders Wellbeing - MediCash cashback on dental, optical and physiotherapy, employee support programmes and dedicated specialist teams around you Additional benefits - Group Life Assurance, relocation support and refer-a-friend incentives Because when our Registered Managers thrive, our teams thrive.
