An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Registered Manager, or an ambitious Deputy Manager ready to take the next step, to lead the launch of a brand-new solo children's home in Gloucestershire.

- Ensure compliance with Children's Homes Regulations, Quality Standards and safeguarding legislation.
- Build positive relationships with local authorities and external professionals.
- Lead Ofsted inspections and drive continuous improvement.

- Strong knowledge of Children's Homes Regulations 2015, Quality Standards, safeguarding and Ofsted requirements.
