Registered Manager

Job title and organisation: Registered Manager - Blossom Keep, Keighley - Catholic Care, You will be joining a small, established children's home with a committed team, strong foundations and a culture centred around giving children the stability, relationships and opportunities they need to flourish. We are incredibly proud of what has been created at our Keighley home. Now we're looking for an exceptional Registered Manager who can protect what makes it special while bringing their own leadership and ambition to its next chapter. At Catholic Care, we believe children move through life, not services. That belief sits at the heart of Steps for Tomorrow, our approach to children's residential care. Our homes are intentionally small because we want children to experience something that genuinely feels like home. A place where they are known. Where relationships matter. Where adults are consistent. Where difficult days don't define them. And where everyone remains ambitious for their future. Lead an exceptional home. Shape an extraordinary future. The Opportunity You won't be expected to change things simply to make your mark. We want someone curious enough to understand what already works, confident enough to challenge what could be better and emotionally intelligent enough to bring people with them. You'll have the autonomy to lead, alongside the support and challenge of an organisation deeply committed to children's residential care. Of course, excellent safeguarding, regulatory practice and strong leadership matter. But compliance is the foundation. It isn't the ambition. The question we want you to keep asking is: What difference are we actually making to this child's life? The Leader we're looking for:

• We're looking for someone who leads with both their head and their heart.
• A visible, thoughtful and calm leader who builds strong relationships, holds high expectations and develops people rather than simply managing them.
  
  Someone who understands that the culture of a children's home isn't created by policies alone. It's created in the hundreds of small interactions, decisions and moments that happen every day. You could be an experienced Registered Manager looking for greater influence or a strong Deputy ready to take the next step. What matters is your ability to lead an excellent children's home while remaining curious, reflective and ambitious about what could be even better.
  
  Success won't simply be an Ofsted judgement. It's children feeling that they belong and having adults around them whom they trust. It's achievements being noticed and progress being celebrated. It's a team that feels proud of its home and understands the difference it makes. It's families and professionals having confidence in us. And it's a home that keeps learning rather than becoming satisfied with simply being good enough.
