Registered Manager – Children's Residential Care
Holmfirth, Huddersfield (HD9)
£55,000–£65,000 + £5,000 Welcome Bonus
At Madiba, we're passionate about doing children's residential care the right way. We're a fast-growing, values-led provider of complex care across Yorkshire — and we're on the lookout for an experienced Registered Manager to lead our 5-bed children's home in Holmfirth.
This isn't just about managing a service. It's about building a culture, developing people, and creating a home where children feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for.
If you're ambitious, compassionate, and ready to make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing
No two days are the same, but you'll be:
- Leading, motivating, and developing a brilliant team of Team Leaders and Residential Support Workers
- Creating strong rotas, overseeing inductions, training, and performance (and doing it fairly and consistently)
- Making sure care plans, risk assessments, and safeguarding records are always up to scratch
- Managing budgets, staffing levels, and the smooth running of the home
- Working closely with senior leaders to achieve (and maintain!) Good or Outstanding OFSTED outcomes
- Most importantly — creating a nurturing, trauma-informed environment where young people can truly thrive
What You'll Bring
You'll likely already have:
- Experience supervising staff in a children's residential setting
- Previous experience as a Registered Manager within a Children's Residential Home
- Experience supporting children with Learning Disabilities and challenging behaviours
- Level 3/4 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent)
- Level 5 Diploma in Residential Childcare — or willingness to complete it within 2 years (we'll fund it!)
- A full UK driving licence
- A calm, resilient, and consistent approach grounded in trauma-informed care
- Flexibility to support the rota when needed (teamwork matters here)
Why Join Madiba?
We look after our people just as much as the children we support:
- £5,000 welcome bonus (£2k on start, £3k after probation)
- Fully funded Level 5 Diploma
- Flexible working options
- OFSTED bonus payments
- 28 days holiday + enhanced bank holiday pay
- Enhanced overtime rates
- Healthcare cash scheme & health insurance package
- Company pension & free parking
- Casual dress code (because comfort matters)
- Meals on shift + access to our discretionary food bank
- Monthly recognition awards & long-service awards
- Ongoing training, CPD, and rapid career progression
- Company events and a genuinely supportive, values-driven culture
- Refer a friend bonus: £150 upfront + £350 after probation
A Few Important Bits

If you're ready to lead with compassion, build something meaningful, and be part of a growing organisation that values you — this could be your next step.
