🏠 Registered Manager – Children's Residential (EBD) – Reopening Service
📍 London, NW1
💰 £52,000 basic (up to £58,600 with bonuses)
🚗 Company car or £3,000 travel allowance
Area Camden has held Good and Outstanding Ofsted ratings since 2014, and we're opening a new solo children's home in London. We need an experienced Registered Manager to lead it from day one, supporting young people aged 9 to 17 with complex emotional and behavioural needs.
This isn't a home that already runs on rails. You're building the culture, the team and the standards from scratch, backed by an operator with a genuinely established track record rather than a startup taking a first swing at it. If you want ownership rather than inheriting someone else's way of doing things, this is that role.
💷 What's in it
- £52,000 basic salary
- Realistic earning potential up to £58,600
- Company car or £3,000 annual travel allowance
- £300 per month full occupancy bonus
- Ofsted bonus: £3,000 for Outstanding, £1,500 for Good
- 32 days annual leave including bank holidays, rising by 1 day a year for your first three years
- Workplace pension post probation
- Mobile phone provided, plus a local parking permit
- 40 hours per week, you manage your own rota and take part in the on call rota

You'd also be joining a home backed by a wider, well established group, with designated recruitment, HR, quality assurance, learning and development and safeguarding specialist support behind you, so you're not building this in isolation.
