I’m looking for a registered manager for children’s care home, any advice where to find them?

There are a few options available when searching for a registered manager for a children’s care home. One option is to contact the Care Quality Commission (CQC) who are responsible for regulating and inspecting registered social care services in England. The CQC publish lists of all registered social care providers, which you can search by location and type of service.

Another option is to contact local authorities and ask for their list of registered care homes in the area. Local authorities are required to maintain a list of all registered care homes within their area, which they must make available to the public upon request.

You could also try searching online directories such as the Social Care Register, which is maintained by the Department for Education. This register contains details of all social care providers registered with the department, including children’s care homes.

When searching for a registered manager, it is important to ensure that they are qualified and experienced in managing the type of care home you are looking for. The manager should also be registered with the CQC, and you can check this by searching the CQC’s register of social care providers.

It is also advisable to visit potential care homes and speak to the manager in person to get a better idea of their suitability for the role. This will also allow you to ask any questions you may have about the home and the care they provide.
