MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH OFSTED
We are looking for a Registered Manager who can lead a team and to create positive memories and experiences for our children that last a lifetime, where they feel cared for, safe and secure.
If you want to lead and manage a small, dedicated team who work hard to meet the challenges of working with children up to 17 years with a wide range of emotional needs, then we have the role for you.
What will I be doing as a Registered Manager?
You’ll lead and manage the team in the everyday running of residential care to achieve the best outcomes and provide a safe and secure environment for all, whilst adhering to Ofsted standards. Your accountabilities will include:
· Ensure the home is fully resourced, with the right level of capability to operate safely and compliantly at all times through making sure the team is appropriately trained, skilled and qualified to conduct activities and provide the appropriate level of care
· Engage and involve the team in the creation and implementation of the homes statement of purpose

· Making sure they’re up on time for school, have a good breakfast inside them in order to engage in the education system positively
· Helping them work through their homework (there’s always google!)
· Encouraging them to get involved in activities or to just relax and feel at home as part of developing their physical and mental health and wellbeing
· Provide life skills and development activities that builds independence and confidence
· Making sure the house is kept clean and tidy so that everyone takes pride in the home
