Registered Manager – Children’s EBD Home

Edmonton, North London

Competitive Salary + Benefits (up to £70k DOE)

We’re looking for an exceptional Registered Manager to take the reins of a brand-new Children’s EBD home, guiding it through the SC1 registration process and beyond.

This isn’t just a job — it’s a chance to shape the very first home in what will be a growing group of specialist children’s services. The owners are deeply passionate about supporting children with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD) and Learning Disabilities (LD). Their vision is to create warm, nurturing environments that feel like a true home away from home, and they’re looking for a leader who shares that vision.

The Role

• Lead the SC1 registration process, including sitting the Fit Person’s Interview
• Build and develop the home’s culture, ethos, and care model from the ground up
• Inspire and guide a dedicated care team, leading from the front in both practice and example
• Ensure the highest standards of care, safeguarding, and compliance with Ofsted
• Drive occupancy and ensure the home meets its long-term objectives

What We’re Looking For

• An experienced Registered Manager or a very experienced Deputy Manager ready for the next step
• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare (or equivalent/working towards)
• Solid understanding of Ofsted regulations and children’s residential care standards
• Strong leadership skills with a track record of delivering excellent outcomes for children

Why This Role is Different

• Be there from day one — you’ll have the opportunity to put your own stamp on the service and shape it your way
• Work closely with supportive, passionate owners who are committed to quality over quantity
• This home is just the beginning — play a key role in helping the group grow and develop a portfolio of outstanding homes

If you’re ready to own the service, lead with passion, and create a home that truly changes lives, we want to hear from you.
