Key Responsibilities
- Ofsted Compliance: Oversee the day-to-day running of the home in line with Children’s Homes Regulations and Quality Standards, aiming for 'Outstanding' results.
- Team Leadership: Recruit, mentor, and inspire a team of Support Workers and Team Leaders, fostering a positive and resilient culture.
- Therapeutic Care: Implement tailored care plans that effectively manage challenging behaviours and support the emotional development of residents.
