Are you an experienced Registered Manager looking for a new opportunity? This is a fantastic chance to lead an existing 4-bed LD home in Lancaster, working with a well-established provider that offers genuine career progression and long-term development opportunities.
About the Role: As Registered Manager, you will oversee the daily operations of the home, ensuring high-quality care, compliance with Ofsted regulations, and a positive team environment. You will play a key role in shaping the future of the service and supporting children and young people with Learning Disabilities (LD).
About The Home: The home offers accommodation to five young people between the ages of eight and eighteen years. There are four bedrooms in the main house and a single occupancy attached to the home, designed to encourage young people to become more independent with support from staff. This setup enables them to experience some level of independence, supporting their future choices after Aroona.
We specialise in providing care for young people who have physical and learning difficulties, emotional and behavioural difficulties, and mental disorders excluding learning and sensory impairment. We aim to ensure that our house reflects that of a family home where the young person feels safe and secure in a non-institutionalised setting.
Staff also offer help and advice, encouraging young people to engage in activities they enjoy, such as boxing, judo, football, swimming, and golf. We aim to introduce young people to new experiences to broaden their interests and hobbies. At the home, we strive to facilitate any aspirations the young person may hold.
Young people meet once a week to share foods they want to eat and create a well-balanced menu. They discuss and resolve any issues from the previous week, make requests regarding their accommodation, or share new ideas about the home.
We actively encourage those young people who have family links and welcome families to visit and maintain contact.
