Are you a Life Changer? Do you want to lean in and transform the life of a child?

At Compass Community, we put children first through our therapeutic, innovative approach. Integrity, Courage, and Care shape how we work. We listen deeply, challenge each other, and fix what needs fixing, together. This is the work—and we’d like you to be part of it.

As Compass grows, so do the opportunities for talented leaders. We are looking for an enthusiastic, determined Registered Manager for our home in Earl Shilton who can make a real difference, inspire a dedicated team, and ensure the children within the home receive outstanding care, positive role models, and a safe place to call home.

Clinical Support: A designated psychologist embedded within each home and community, providing direct therapeutic work with children.
Education Link: A completely dedicated internal education service.
Operational Relief: Full organizational support from centralized IT, HR, Marketing, and bespoke database systems to radically reduce your administrative burden.
Environment & Resources: Child-centred budgets with homes decorated and maintained to the absolute highest therapeutic standards.
Peace of Mind: A highly supportive, reliable, and structured out-of-hours on-call system.

Who We Are Looking For

We want the very best professionals managing our homes. You will lead an experienced staff team of your choice, complete with a Deputy Manager, Seniors, and Support Workers.

The Requirements:

Experience: Minimum of 5 years’ experience in a position relevant to the residential care of children, with at least 2 years directly supervising and managing staff.
Qualifications: Must hold both the NVQ Level 3 in Children and Young People's Workforce AND the Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare (England).
