Registered Manager - Children\'s Residential Home

I hope you’re well.

I’m currently working on a fantastic permanent leadership opportunity within a therapeutic children’s residential home supporting young people with learning disabilities, and thought it may be of interest.

Role Snapshot

Position: Registered Manager – Children\’s Residential Home (Learning Disabilities)

Location: Matlock

Salary: £50,000 – £58,000 basic salary + benefits package

Type: Permanent

This is a role within a beautiful, well‑presented children’s home in a lovely location, providing therapeutic, person‑centred care for young people with learning disabilities and additional needs. The home focuses on stability, positive outcomes, and creating a safe and nurturing environment where young people can thrive.

You would be joining a supportive provider that genuinely values its managers, with a clear therapeutic approach, strong leadership support, and a commitment to maintaining high standards of care and Ofsted compliance.

You would not be stepping into a firefighting situation – instead, you’d have the opportunity to lead and further develop a well‑supported home, with visible backing from senior leadership.

Next Steps

If you’re open to a confidential and informal conversation, I’d be very happy to discuss the home, the provider, and the full package in more detail. No pressure at all – even if the timing isn’t right, a conversation can still be useful.
