• Recruiting, supervising, developing and supporting your staff team
• Representing the home at professional and multi-agency meetings
• Driving continuous improvement in the quality of care and outcomes for young people

About the Home

• Children are settled and established within the home
• A full staff team is in place, providing a stable foundation for the incoming manager
• Supported by a committed and experienced senior leadership team

What We're Looking For

• Level 5 in Leadership and Management in Residential Childcare

• At least 2 years' experience working with children within the past five years
• Strong knowledge of the Children's Homes Regulations and Ofsted inspection frameworks
• Experience developing placement plans, risk assessments, and needs-based strategies
• Excellent leadership, communication, and decision-making skills
• A genuine commitment to equality, diversity, and the wellbeing of young people

What's on Offer

• Salary: £50,000 – £55,000 per annum (dependent on experience)
• The chance to lead a stable, thriving home with an established team
• A supportive organisational culture with a strong ethos around staff development
