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.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
