About Bayleaf Care

Bayleaf Care provides exceptional care for children and young people across the UK, especially those who have faced trauma. We use the PACE model, which creates a safe, caring environment to help children feel secure and build positive relationships.

We have homes that look after young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties and children's home that specifically care for young people with learning disabilities and physical disabilities.

Our approach starts with the key worker, who forms a strong, trusting bond with the child. This relationship is essential for the child's development and continues throughout their care.

We offer personalized care, education, and treatment led by a team of trained professionals, helping children manage their emotions and behaviours in a safe, supportive environment.

There are currently 5 children's homes open, 2 of these homes have their own school onsite. Bayleaf is expanding with more children's homes on the horizon and we are also opening 2 leaving care homes and 3 CQC registered adult homes so that all our young people can remain in our care by transitioning into these services. It has now been announced that in 2026 we are also opening 2 special schools, one for SEMH and the other will be a L/D & P/D school.

Each children's home has their own permanent on-site therapist and a pool car.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide strategic and operational leadership across all residential homes within the region.
  • Ensure each home is fully compliant with Ofsted regulations, safeguarding standards, and Bayleaf Care's policies.
  • Support Registered Managers and their teams in delivering high-quality, child-centred care and positive outcomes for young people.
  • Monitor performance and quality assurance processes, identifying areas for improvement and implementing effective solutions.
