Are you an experienced Deputy Manager or Manager looking for your next career adventure? Are you looking to make a difference to a child’s life, provide positive experiences and act as a role model to the future generations? Are you patient, understanding and prepared to support and care for vulnerable children with learning difficulties?
You will be joining an enthusiastic fast growing company offering growth and development opportunities. We have three fully operational homes with plans to open further homes in the area.
Our homes have been judged as GOOD by Ofsted and we are actively working towards an OUTSTANDING rating.
Let’s tell you about the Role.
This is a role with challenge, growth, and purpose at its heart. It’s a role that inspires others and brings your creative mind to life. We are an ambitious and passionate team looking to expand within the area. As a result, a unique position has been created for a Home Manager to support our Registered Manager to manage two homes within close proximity.
Fernleigh House is a unique 3-bedroom children's home in Gunnislake, Cornwall, supporting children with learning disabilities, Trauma, ADHD and autism. We are dedicated to making them feel safe, not just in their homes but also in the surrounding areas.
Hamilton is a children's home in Gunnislake, Cornwall supporting one young person with complex needs.
We currently support two young men aged 14 and 11 who need inspiring and confident team members to support them to enjoy a high quality of life, access education and have fun.
Reporting to our Registered Manager, you will be supported by Deputy managers and Team Leaders, taking accountability for all operational aspects of the home especially the culture of the home and ensuring that our young people flourish.
Focusing on areas such as quality management, rota planning, retention, budget, training & mentoring will be part of the role. You will be responsible for the safety of all, and you’ll motivate your team with ideas that keep the people we support engaged, fulfilled and happy. The sense of fun you’ll bring helps make things happen. We see this as more than a job, this is the start of your career journey with us. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your career and reach your full potential.
As well as all the above you will receive regular supervisions, appraisals and your very own development plan within the organisation. You will have opportunities to meet regularly with directors and managers both formally and informally ensuring you have sufficient support networks from within the organisation.
Let’s Hear About You.
Passion for positively shaping lives is just as important to us as your experience. A track record of leading homes and supporting young people with complex needs.
