Children’s Homes Recruitment
Children’s Homes Recruitment. Done Properly.
Finding the right Residential Manager shouldn’t feel impossible.
But right now, for many providers, it does.
Unfilled roles.
Poor hires.
Homes delayed from opening.
Ofsted pressure building.
This is where we come in.
A Different Approach to Recruitment
We don’t work like a traditional agency.
We only take on a maximum of five active mandates at any one time.
That’s it.
Why?
Because your role deserves focus, not volume.
This allows us to:
- Fully understand your home, culture and expectations
- Represent your service properly in the market
- Deliver carefully selected, fully screened candidates
- Avoid the “CV send and hope” approach most agencies rely on
The Reality of This Market
The best Residential and Deputy Managers are not applying for jobs.
They are:
- Already employed
- Selective about opportunities
- Wary of poor environments
- Only open to the right move
That means job boards won’t solve your problem.
They need to be found, engaged and introduced properly.
How we Work
Our approach is built around:
Targeted Headhunting
We go directly into the market to identify the strongest individuals.
Meaningful Engagement
We don’t just “message candidates”, we build interest and trust before introducing them.
Precise Matching
Every candidate is aligned to your specific home, not just the job title.
Thorough Screening
Only candidates who are genuinely suitable and committed are introduced.
Who we Work With
We partner with:
- Children’s Home Providers
- Start-ups opening new services
- Established groups scaling their portfolio
If you are serious about hiring the right people, we will work well together.
Who I Don’t Work With
To protect results for my clients, I don’t take on:
- High-volume, low-commitment briefs
- Roles without clear structure or support
- Clients who want speed over quality
This is a partnership model, not a CV service.
Current Availability
We only work on five mandates at a time.
We currently have limited availability.
If you’re considering support, timing matters.
