As the Registered Manager, you will oversee the day-to-day operations of this small, specialist home, supporting two children and young people with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties. You'll lead a dedicated team, fostering a safe, positive, and inclusive environment. You'll also play a key role in the ongoing development and improvement of the service, ensuring full compliance with all regulatory and legislative requirements.
