We are seeking a compassionate and experienced Registered Manager to lead and shape our brand-new trauma-informed therapeutic children’s service at Applewood Lodge in Stafford. Designed to feel like a true family home, this unique service will provide a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for young people, where they can flourish and feel truly valued.
With space for just 3 to 4 children, Applewood Lodge will focus on creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, offering personalised care that mirrors the routines and relationships of a family home. From supporting with homework to sharing everyday moments like mealtimes and activities, this service is built on fostering trust, connection, and emotional well-being.
This is a rare and exciting opportunity to build and lead a new service from the ground up. You will play a key role in shaping a brighter future for vulnerable children, supported by an organisation that is dedicated to making a lasting difference.
If you are passionate about creating a nurturing, family-style environment and delivering exceptional trauma-informed care, we would love to hear from you.

As the Registered Manager, you will:

• Lead the development and delivery of this new service, ensuring it meets Ofsted regulations and delivers exceptional care.
• Implement trauma-informed approaches to care, such as PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy), to support the children’s emotional and behavioural development.
• Oversee the assessment and formulation of treatment plans tailored to each child’s needs.
• Build and manage a compassionate and skilled team, fostering a positive and supportive culture.
