Are you a Registered Manager or experienced Deputy Manager looking for your next role? If you are passionate, driven, and enthusiastic, we have the perfect role for you!
About us
One to One Crisis Intervention opened in 1997 and offers homes for children and young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties from the ages of 7-18 years. We provide small homes for either one or two young people, helping us to provide intensive and individualised care. We focus on providing young people with nurture, structure, routine, and consistency with a therapeutic approach to behaviour management.
We are looking to recruit an exceptional Registered Manager for one of our single occupancy homes, registered with Ofsted for young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties based in Newton Abbot. The role includes a mixture of management hours (off Shift) and on shift hours, including sleep ins with the young person. However, there is flexibility with hours and we are open to discussing this further to come to an arrangement which mutually suits.
Why work for us?
We are incredibly proud of our young people, and when we see them working towards their full potential, it’s the best feeling in the world! Our work is emotionally and physically demanding at times, which is why we have support in place through regular team meetings and monthly one-to-one sessions. In addition to these, we hold regular coffee mornings, company BBQs, and breakfasts out as well as other events.
We are a small, mutually supportive organisation. The role of a Registered Manager is undoubtedly stressful at times, and we understand the need to be able to rely on support from those you work with. We have a close-knit group of Registered Managers and a highly supportive senior management team who are present within the homes.
We provide individualised and bespoke care, priding ourselves on our homes, which look and feel like usual family homes. As a result, our staff also benefit from working in relaxed and comfortable environments.
All of our staff are provided with high-quality training to ensure their practice and knowledge remains up to date. We offer every member of staff the opportunity to choose an area of expertise, where you will receive additional training and have the ability to become a ‘champion’ in your chosen field.
