Registered Manager – Children’s Residential Care

Holmfirth, Huddersfield (HD9)

£60,000–£65,000 + £5,000 Welcome Bonus

At Madiba, we’re passionate about doing children’s residential care the right way. We’re a fast‑growing, values‑led provider of complex care across Yorkshire — and we’re on the lookout for an experienced Registered Manager to lead one of our multi-occupancy Holmfirth homes.

This isn’t just about managing a service. It’s about building a culture, developing people, and creating a home where children feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for.

If you’re ambitious, compassionate, and ready to make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Be Doing

No two days are the same, but you’ll be:

• Leading, motivating, and developing a brilliant team of Team Leaders and Residential Support Workers
• Creating strong rotas, overseeing inductions, training, and performance (and doing it fairly and consistently)
• Making sure care plans, risk assessments, and safeguarding records are always up to scratch
• Managing budgets, staffing levels, and the smooth running of the home
• Working closely with senior leaders to achieve (and maintain!) Good or Outstanding OFSTED outcomes
• Most importantly — creating a nurturing, trauma‑informed environment where young people can truly thrive

What You’ll Bring

You’ll likely already have:

• Experience supervising staff in a multi‑occupancy children’s residential setting
• Previous experience as a Registered Manager (or similar role)
• Experience supporting children with Learning Disabilities and challenging behaviours
• Level 3/4 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent)
• Level 5 Diploma in Residential Childcare — or willingness to complete it within 2 years (we’ll fund it!)
• A full UK driving licence
• A calm, resilient, and consistent approach grounded in trauma‑informed care
• Flexibility to support the rota when needed (teamwork matters here)

• £5,000 welcome bonus (£2k on start, £3k after probation)
• Fully funded Level 5 Diploma
• Flexible working options
• OFSTED bonus payments
• 28 days holiday + enhanced bank holiday pay

• Monthly recognition awards & long‑service awards
• Ongoing training, CPD, and rapid career progression
• Company events and a genuinely supportive, values‑driven culture
• Refer a friend bonus: £150 upfront + £350 after probation
