Registered Manager – Jarvis House a home which is rated good aspiring to be outstanding

Salary: £51,275 - £58,927 per annum (Pay Grade B) at time of writing

Additional allowances are paid for on-call duties.

Please contact Karen Ciantar for an informal chat - karen.ciantar @ barnardos. org. uk 

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.

Can you tell a great story?

Hope into Action is an inspiring story.  It starts with a couple, Ed and Rach Walker, who decide to use £30,000 of their own money to buy a house for people who were homeless in Peterborough in 2010.  And from this seed, an organisation has grown which 16 years later has 134 houses and has seen over £34 million invested in homes for people who were homeless.

Hope into Action is a story of how faith in God has been put into action and led to resources being shared, new relationships being formed and people’s lives being transformed.

Last year we housed over 500 people who had been homeless. Each of those individuals has a story to share of how Hope into Action has helped them. This is the story we want to share.

The Communications & Engagement Lead is responsible for implementing Hope into Action’s communications and engagement strategy. Working closely with the CEO, they will be responsible for telling the Hope into Action story and driving increased engagement with our vision for every church in the UK to be engaged in ending homelessness.

At least 50% of the role is harvesting stories from around our Network to create engaging content which expresses our vision and mission. We want someone who can be both responsive and strategic. To hear a story from our frontline workers and be able to share it on our website and social media later that day – whilst also working towards the longer term goal of more people in the UK being aware of our work and its impact.

We are focused on combining both professional excellence and spiritual passion. The first quality we look for in our staff, therefore, is a passion for the work we do. This needs to be matched by integrity and commitment to leading by our values. You will work closely with all other departments in the organisation, so an ability to build and maintain strong relationships in a rapidly growing and constantly changing organisation is essential.

A deep commitment to the Christian faith is essential as is the ability to communicate the nuance of our faith-driven work sensitively, maturely and passionately. Whilst our office hours are 9am-5pm we support staff in their flexible working. For this role you will be expected to be in our Peterborough Support Centre Office at least 2 days per week with occasional travel to other locations. Our office is located 5 minutes’ walk from Peterborough railway station and with good parking facilities available.

We are committed to staff care and realise the importance of a good work-life balance. To help our staff perform to their best, we offer a range of benefits including generous leave allowance and occupational sick pay provision, retreat days and sabbatical leave, an employee assistance programme and a generous workplace pension, to name a few.

Hope into Action has a great story to share – could you come and help us tell it better?
