You will have:
A thorough knowledge of Children's Homes legislation, Ofsted inspection requirements, child protection and safeguarding procedures
A Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People's Workforce, or equivalent
Either have attained a Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare, or be willing to complete this
A minimum of 2 years' experience within the last 5 years in a role relevant to the residential care of children
At least 1 year's experience supervising and managing staff working in a care role
A full manual driving licence, access to your own car, business insurance, and the ability to undertake on-call duties, currently averaging around 2 on-call duties per month
About the Role
You will lead and manage a 3-bed children's home in a relatively rural setting, ensuring that children receive high-quality, individualised care and support
You will be accountable for the safe, effective and efficient running of the home, including leadership, administration, compliance and wider operational responsibilities
