Let’s take an honest look at what it means to lead a children’s home. As Sophie, one of our Heads of Home, shares, it’s one of the most rewarding roles in social care.
We also recognise the demands of the role and understand that many experienced Registered Managers experience:
🔹 The pressure of inspections
🔹 The weight of accountability
🔹 The challenge of building and keeping strong teams
At Buckinghamshire Council, we offer clear leadership support when it matters most, alongside real investment in staffing and stability. You’ll be part of a culture where you feel supported every day.
Sophie talks about what it's like working as a Residential Manager: 'We work hard to create a normal, homely environment. We cook dinner, clean up together, and go out on activities – just like any other family.' Read her full blog here: https://shorturl.at/Jb0Zq
We’re opening two new homes in High Wycombe, and are currently recruiting for a Registered Manager (Head of Home) to join us. If you’re looking to lead with confidence, not just responsibility, we’d love to hear from you. Apply: https://ow.ly/nK8G50Z7uXC
