A bit about the role


We are recruiting a Registered Manager for a 2-bedroom home in London Fields, Hackney.


Action for Children are working in close partnership with London Borough of Hackney to develop and run a new trauma-informed therapeutic children’s home within the borough. 
This exciting new development will offer stable, safe and loving homes which enable children and young people to stay in Hackney, helping them to growing up supported and happy, with the chance to maintain and build on the relationships that matter to them the most.


Together, we will ensure that children receive the highest standards of support, tailored to their unique needs, in a welcoming, safe, high-quality home. 
What you do could make a difference
This is much more than a Registered Manager role – you will lead on the development process and launch of our children’s new home. We want you to build the team and put everything in place to lay a sound foundation and secure OFSTED registration.
Through innovative care and support, we will provide a safe, nurturing environment for trauma informed children, in the London Borough of Hackney. 


How you will create bright futures:

  • Recruiting and leading your own dynamic workforce.
  • Setting the values and principles in line with national standards, Ofsted and the principles of our partnership with Hackney Borough Council.
  • Prioritise psychological safety, empathy, and relationship building.
  • Lead the delivery of high-quality care that achieves positive and agreed outcomes for children and young people.
  • Ensure the children living with us feel physically psychologically safe and empowered.
  • Liaising with stakeholders, the community and other agencies.

Let’s talk about you

  • We’re looking for someone who will support Hackney’s Children and Families Service and Action for Children’s commitment to eradicating systemic racism, discrimination, injustice, making anti-racism a foundation of their practice.
  • You will bring management experience in trauma informed children's residential care, alongside a Level 5 qualification (e.g. Diploma in Leadership and management of Residential Childcare).
  • Experience of working with children at risk of criminal exploitation and sexual abuse.
  • You will understand the cultural, societal and ideological forces that shape a child’s development.
  • Your track record will be demonstrated by Good or Outstanding OFSTED ratings for homes in which you've held leadership roles.
  • You will have proven ability in providing a contained and fulfilling environment for staff, promoting psychological safety to build and sustain a resilient team.

This is not a children’s home, but a home that belongs to its children.


Please note we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.
