Operations Manager – Children’s Residential Care

We're supporting a high-quality provider of children's residential care in their search for an Operations Manager to play a pivotal role alongside the Registered Manager (RM) and Responsible Individual (RI). This is an ideal opportunity for someone ready to lead at a strategic level while maintaining a strong presence on the ground.

As an integral part of the leadership team, you'll oversee multiple homes, ensuring standards of care are consistently high, and that each setting remains compliant, therapeutic, and child-focused.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Work alongside the RM and RI to oversee operational excellence across services
  • Coach, support, and develop Registered Managers to drive outcomes for children
  • Lead on audits, performance reviews, and action planning
  • Support with strategic planning, recruitment, and service development
  • Act as a point of escalation for complex safeguarding or operational matters

What You’ll Bring:

  • Level 5 Diploma in Leadership & Management (Children’s Residential Care or equivalent)
  • At least 3 years’ leadership experience in children’s residential settings
  • Track record of successfully managing multiple homes or services
  • Strong understanding of Ofsted frameworks and regulatory standards
  • A commitment to therapeutic, trauma-informed care
  • Competitive salary with performance-related bonus
  • Car allowance or company car
  • Private healthcare and wellbeing support
  • Enhanced annual leave, including birthday off
  • Professional development pathway and CPD opportunities
  • Long service awards and leadership mentoring

This is more than an operational role – it’s a chance to shape a culture where young people thrive and professionals feel truly supported.
