Create Safety. Build Belonging. Help Children Grow.
Barnardo's is looking for a compassionate, values‑driven Registered Manager to lead Jarvis House, a small, nurturing residential home supporting children at a time when safety, stability, and kindness matter most.
Jarvis House supports up to three children through short‑ to medium‑term placements, including emergency admissions when no suitable alternative is immediately available. It offers a therapeutic, trauma‑informed environment where children can begin to feel safer, happier, healthier, and more hopeful, and where they are supported to heal, grow, and thrive.
This is not just about running a home. It's about creating a calm, structured space where relationships come first, experiences are understood with compassion, and children are supported to prepare for what comes next.
What Jarvis House Offers Children
Each child's time at Jarvis House is shaped by a sensitive, holistic assessment that helps us understand their experiences, strengths, and needs. Our team works closely with children to help them recover from trauma, build emotional resilience, and develop vital life skills. When children move on, whether to a foster family, a longer‑term placement, or back home, they do so with stronger foundations and greater confidence in themselves.
As one colleague put it:
“Jarvis House gives children breathing space. We slow things down, really listen, and help them believe in themselves again.”
Your Role
As Registered Manager, you will:
- Lead a small, committed team with warmth, clarity, and consistency
- Create a therapeutic, trauma‑informed environment where children feel safe and supported to thrive
- Hold the balance between structure and nurture, especially during emergency and transition placements
- Ensure high‑quality care, safeguarding, and regulatory compliance
- Embed relational, child‑centred practice in everyday decision‑making
- Support staff through reflective supervision and development
- Work collaboratively with families, social workers, and partner agencies
One of our managers describes the leadership culture at Barnardo's like this:
“You're trusted to lead in a way that feels human. You're supported, challenged, and never expected to do it alone.”
What Children Tell Us Matters
“I need people who don't leave when things get hard.”
“Feeling safe helps me think about what comes next.”
As Registered Manager, you will keep these voices at the centre of your leadership.
What We're Looking For
You'll be someone who:
- Has experience leading or managing within residential children's services
- Understands trauma, attachment, and emotionally informed care
- Holds (or is working towards) a Level 5 Leadership and Management qualification
- Leads with curiosity, compassion, and emotional resilience
- Believes that strong relationships are the foundation of great care
- Wants to make a genuine difference in children's lives
Why Join Barnardo's?
At Barnardo's, values are more than words on a page. They shape how we lead, how we support staff, and how we care for children.
“I stay because the care is real, for the children and for us as staff.”
“We're encouraged to reflect, to learn, and to keep getting better.”
You'll be part of an organisation that invests in its people and believes that when staff feel supported, children thrive too.
