Dual Registered Manager

Location: Gloucester, GL1

We’re hiring a Registered Manager to lead two specialist services in Gloucestershire: one residential and one supported accommodation setting. Both are furnished & renovated to a high standard, designed to give young people a positive, nurturing start. This is a chance to shape services where your ideas stick, and where ambition meets real-world impact.

This is a growing provider with strong results already. The first children’s home was rated Good, and the supported accommodation achieved an Outcome 1 rating, one of the few providers nationwide to do so . You’ll be working alongside a hands-on Operations Director/RI, collaborating with colleagues across therapy, housing and care sectors and supported to grow into a Responsible Individual role.

What you’ll be doing:

• Driving trauma-informed, responsive support in line with Ofsted and regulatory frameworks
• Recruiting, training, supervising and managing high-performing staff teams
• Acting as Senior DSL, overseeing safeguarding strategy and statutory cases
• Running on-call cover, including evenings, weekends and wake‑night rotas
• Building relationships with key partners; local authority, healthcare, education and community

What we’re looking for:

• 3+ years of recent leadership experience within children’s residential or supported accommodation settings
• Deep understanding of Children’s Homes Regulations, Quality Standards and Ofsted frameworks
• Proven experience in staff development, performance management and operational leadership
• Strong safeguarding and risk management knowledge
• Collaborative and creative, ready to challenge the landscape of children’s homes
• Resilient, adaptable and able to manage crisis effectively
• UK manual driving licence and willingness to be flexible, including emergencies

What’s on offer:

• Genuine opportunity to develop into Responsible Individual
• Innovative, person-centred culture where your contributions matter
• High-quality, well-equipped services with strong clinical and creative input
• Pension, cycle-to-work, free parking, staff events and wellbeing support

If you're looking to lead services rooted in quality, creativity and care, where you’ll learn, grow and shape real change, this is where your impact begins.
