Leadership Development and Coaching

Leadership Coaching and Mentoring for Children’s Homes

Confident, values-led leadership, even in high-pressure environments.

At Positive Care Consultancy, we understand that leadership in children’s residential care is rewarding, but rarely simple. You’re navigating regulation, building culture, and carrying risk, all while trying to support your team and stay grounded yourself.

Our 1-to-1 coaching and mentoring support is designed for managers, responsible individuals, and senior leaders who want to lead with clarity, compassion, and confidence, whether you’re newly registered or years into your role.

Why it Matters

Sustained, values-led leadership is at the heart of Ofsted’s expectations under the Leadership and Management Standard. Coaching gives you space to reflect, plan, and grow, not just for compliance, but for the long-term wellbeing of your team and the children in your care.

Our GROWTH Model

Reflective, values-led coaching for meaningful and sustainable change

At Positive Care Consultancy, we use our bespoke GROWTH model to guide coaching and consultancy sessions with leaders, teams, and Regulation 44 visitors. It’s a strengths-based, trauma-informed framework that supports clarity, reflection, and action, without overwhelm.

Each stage helps you focus on what matters most in your role, building progress you can actually feel and sustain.

This model is used flexibly, whether in a one-off session, monthly support package, or Reg 44 coaching, and is designed to meet you where you are.

It’s not just about ticking boxes. It’s about growing confidence, capability, and calm leadership in the middle of real-world pressure.
