How do experienced Registered Managers and RIs continue to develop?
You run a stable service with a track record of achievement for young people, but you don’t want to lose your connection with young people. How do you ensure you continue to develop as a leader? Could you spare some time to visit and support other homes, working alongside their management team to improve through the Regulation 44 process, through compliance or through organisational development? Some of our team agree to limited independent work alongside their existing roles, self-employed or seconded from their organisation.
Successful applicants have…
- strong management experience in children’s homes
- evidenced strategies to understand problems and help homes resolve them
- independence and objectivity, with excellent report writing skills
- an ability to build relationships with both young people and strategic leaders to ensure their lives improve because of what you do
dialogue has a strong reputation for excellence, impact and keeping children central to our thinking and approach. We ensure we properly remunerate our team at a level they’d expect for this experience and have the chance to work alongside others with similar passion, knowledge and values. You’ll also have free access to our sector-leading training programme. This role will suit independent consultants but also those currently working in the sector with employer’s agreement to broaden their experience.
Job Overview
dialogue provide experienced and effective managers and senior managers with residential management experience to residential homes requesting this role. Our independent people will hold a Level 4/5 qualification in Health and Social Care or be a Qualified Social worker or previous OFSTED Inspector and have experience in a management capacity.
