As a Registered Manager, your role will include a wide variety of tasks and you will thrive from a variety and challenge a role of this nature will bring.

• Hold and maintain the Ofsted registration and manage the home in an outstanding way.
• Ensure that the home is managed in a way which complies with the Children’s Homes Regulations (England) 2015 and creates a positive physical and emotional environment where children and young people can discover who they are and who they can become.
• Create, audit and maintain clear and accurate Care Plans and Risk Assessments for each individual child within your care and any other associated documentation within the home.
• Work in conjunction with the Clinical team to ensure Clinical Safety Plans are maintained and adhered to at all times.
• Provide children with a high standard of personalised care; ensuring that children are included as fully as possible in decisions affecting their care.
• Lead the staff team to create a culture of warmth, nurture and care within the home environment.
• Act with compassion and understanding, motivating and rewarding your team when appropriate.
• Schedule the required staffing levels to ensure you have the optimum staff team on shift with a complementary mix of skills and expertise.
• Be responsible for the support of safeguarding all children in our Children’s Residential Services.
• Investigate any safeguarding concerns for the service area and make informed, fair, and transparent decisions based on information obtained, including the production of investigation reports with recommendations and outcomes.
• Support the children and young people through times of crisis and dysregulation, ensuring the safety of the child or young person is of paramount importance at all times.
• Work with the Operations Team to support the continual development of our service.

We know your number 1 priority will be the children in your care and the team who show up every day – that’s why we ensure you have the support of our in‑house IT, HR, Recruitment, Marketing and Safeguarding departments to support you in every way. We want to ensure you can receive all the support you need to thrive – this can only mean positive outcomes for the children too.

You will have full autonomy and support from our Executive and Senior Leadership team in order to make the decisions you need to make to run an outstanding home.

As a passionate expert in children’s residential care, you will bring with you a wealth of experience in caring for children and young people who have had the most difficult starts in life. Experience dealing with trauma, challenging behaviour and working in a psychologically informed way would all be highly beneficial to your smooth transition into our role.

We are looking for someone highly resilient and confident to support the children and young people through times of crisis and dysregulation, ensuring the safety of the child or young person is of paramount importance at all times. Specific experience with CSE and HSB would be highly advantageous.
