We are seeking an experienced Registered Manager to lead a 5-6 bed residential home dedicated to young people with eating disorders. This is a pivotal role requiring clinical insight, strong leadership, and a commitment to evidence-based care.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Operational Management



Take full responsibility for the day-to-day running of a 5 - 6 bed residential home for young people with complex mental health needs and challenging behaviours.

Lead safeguarding within the service, ensuring accurate record-keeping and adherence to company policy.

Maintain CQC registration and lead inspections, ensuring compliance with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and related legislation.

Empower staff to meet the holistic needs of young people--physical, social, psychological, intellectual, and spiritual--while managing incidents effectively and providing post-incident debriefs.

Ensure effective communication with external professionals (GPs, CCG, community mental health services) and internal clinical teams.

Oversee medication management, ensuring plans are accurate, understood, and followed by all staff.

Drive recruitment of skilled and suitable employees to maintain a high-performing team.



2. Eating Disorder Care Leadership



You will lead the implementation of structured meal and snack support programs, ensuring therapeutic prompts and exposure strategies are applied safely and consistently.

Oversight includes monitoring physical health indicators such as weight, BMI, blood pressure, and ECGs in strict alignment with NICE guidelines.

A key aspect is guiding staff to challenge eating disorder behaviours (e.g., food restriction, purging, avoidance) using evidence-based approaches like positive reinforcement and Safewards principles.



3. Clinical Collaboration



Act as the central link between multidisciplinary professionals--psychiatrists, psychologists, dietitians, and clinical nurse specialists--to ensure care plans are integrated and holistic.

Facilitate weekly dietetic reviews and psychoeducation sessions to support recovery and empower young people with knowledge about their condition.



4. Compliance & Governance



Maintain compliance with CQC Fundamental Standards and all statutory requirements, ensuring the home meets regulatory expectations.

Implement rigorous audits for care plans, risk management strategies, and physical health monitoring to uphold quality and safety.



5. Leadership & Development



Provide clear leadership and supervision to the residential team, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous learning.

Deliver specialist training in eating disorder management and ensure staffing levels are safe and rota's are effectively planned.



You will work over a 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday whilst supporting an On Call Rota alongside other Registered Managers. The job is highly rewarding and an excellent opportunity for an experienced Deputy Manager to develop their career further.
