Children's Home Deputy Manager - moving to the RM role in 6-9 months.

We are looking for an experienced deputy manager in Uttoxeter for a 4 bed children's home that looks after young people with EBD and LD. The salary is 48,000 and there is also a 3,600 car allowance and a bonus scheme. This is a Monday to Friday 'Off-shift' role, 40 hours per week with no sleep-ins unless covering for sickness etc.

The home is situated 17 miles from Stoke, 15 miles from Stafford, 12 miles from Ashbourne and 13 miles from Burton on Trent.

About the home:

Located in a quiet residential area within a well-connected market town in Staffordshire, our new four-bedroom children's home provides a safe, warm, and thoughtfully designed space for young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD) and learning disabilities (LD).

The home sits in a peaceful neighbourhood with nearby parks, schools, and community facilities, offering a sense of stability and belonging while maintaining privacy and security for the young people in our care.

Inside, the property blends modern comfort with homely character. A large, open kitchen and dining space encourages shared routines such as cooking and eating together, while two living areas offer both a social hub and a quieter space for reflection. The interior design has been carefully chosen to promote calm, familiarity, and wellbeing.

Each young person has their own spacious bedroom, tailored to meet their individual needs and preferences, with opportunities for personalisation and privacy. An additional therapeutic room provides a quiet, comfortable space for one-on-one sessions or self-regulation.

About Bayleaf Care

Bayleaf Care provides exceptional care for children and young people across the UK, especially those who have faced trauma. We use the PACE model, which creates a safe, caring environment to help children feel secure and build positive relationships.

Our approach starts with the key worker, who forms a strong, trusting bond with the child. This relationship is essential for the child's development and continues throughout their care.

We offer personalized care, education, and treatment led by a team of trained professionals, helping children manage their emotions and behaviours in a safe, supportive environment.

We currently have 3 children's homes open, with another home due to open by late spring and a further 2 homes opening by Autumn.

Each children's home has their own permanent on-site therapist and a pool car.

Job overview:

The Deputy Manager will assist in managing the home ensuring the delivery of high-quality care and support to the children and young people. You will be responsible for helping to oversee the day-to-day operations of the home, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, and leading a team of staff to provide a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment.
