Your Role
This is an exciting opportunity to lead one of Stockport Council’s children’s homes as part of a growing, ambitious and genuinely child-centred residential service. We are looking for someone who can create a warm, nurturing and stable home where children and young people feel safe, cared for, listened to and able to thrive.
Alongside leading the day-to-day running of the home, you will help develop a reflective and supportive staff team that keeps relationships, safeguarding and positive outcomes at the heart of practice.
You may already be an experienced Registered Manager, or perhaps a Deputy Manager or Senior Residential Worker ready for the next step in your career. We would also warmly welcome applications from colleagues currently working within the private sector who are looking to move into a stable, supportive and values-led local authority service where the focus is firmly on children rather than profit.
In return, you will be part of a strong and supportive wider team of Registered Managers, Deputies and residential colleagues who are helping to shape and develop high-quality children’s homes across Stockport. We are passionate about creating homes where children experience warmth, stability, good memories and the kind of care that genuinely changes lives.
