We're looking for an experienced **Responsible Individual** to support a new children's residential provider through the registration of their first service in Newquay.

The provider is developing a children's home operating across three buildings, with plans to support up to six children. The service is currently at the registration stage and already has a highly experienced proposed Registered Manager in place.

-   Policies, procedures and operational setup
-   Preparing the service for a successful launch

### About You

You'll ideally have:

-   Previous Responsible Individual experience within children's residential care
-   Strong knowledge of Ofsted regulations and Quality Standards
-   Experience supporting registrations, inspections or new service development
-   A practical, supportive approach with the confidence to offer challenge where needed
-   Excellent safeguarding and governance knowledge

### What's on Offer?

-   £350 per day
-   An initial commitment of just one day per month
-   6-month contract to start with
-   Opportunity for the role to grow as the service becomes operational
-   Chance to help shape a brand-new provider from day one

This is a great opportunity for an experienced RI who wants a flexible consultancy assignment and enjoys helping providers build strong, compliant services from the outset.
