THE RIGHT LEADERSHIP FOR YOUR HOME

People who understand the responsibility of the role.

Leadership in a children's home carries significant responsibility. We listen carefully to what your home needs, the experience you require and the qualities that matter to your team and the children you support.

01

Ofsted Registered Managers

Leadership for children's residential homes.

We support children's residential providers recruiting Registered Managers with relevant experience in children's homes, safeguarding, team leadership and the responsibilities of an Ofsted-regulated service. We take time to understand the home, the role and the experience your organisation is looking for, then assess candidates against the criteria agreed with you.

We support recruitment for Deputy Managers who can work alongside the Registered Manager, guide and support staff, contribute to a safe and nurturing environment and help maintain consistent standards of care. We explore their relevant children's residential experience, approach to leadership and readiness for the responsibilities of the role.

A PERSONAL, BRIEF-LED SEARCH

Understand the home. Agree the brief. Consider the person.

We begin by discussing the vacancy, the home and the experience and qualities you want to see. Candidates are personally interviewed against the agreed brief, with attention to their relevant children's residential experience, qualifications, leadership approach, values and role-related examples.

You receive a considered candidate profile alongside the CV, explaining how the person's background relates to your requirements. We can coordinate interviews, feedback and offer discussions, and help organise agreed employment-file information for handover.

Clear and honest responsibilities

CareNav 360 provides recruitment support and assesses candidates against the criteria agreed with your organisation. We do not present this as a substitute for specialist regulatory advice or your own assessment of technical competence, safeguarding knowledge and suitability. Your organisation remains responsible for regulatory compliance, safer-recruitment checks and the final appointment decision.
