We are looking for an experienced Registered Manager of Children's Residential Care to join an established Children's Home in Swanley. You will be joining an independent children's home that has been in operation for over 20 years, is rated good with Ofsted, and has owners who are absolutely dedicated and committed to delivering brilliantly life-changing outcomes for the young people in their care.
They enjoy good staff retention rates, so you will have a good team of experienced people to manage. As a Registered Children’s Home Manager, you will lead, motivate, and empower the staff team to deliver high-quality care for 6 young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties.
On offer for the Registered Manager is a salary of £45,000 - £65,000 dependent on experience and qualifications, annual leave of 200 hours per year (equivalent to 5 weeks) plus bank holidays, paid sick pay, a bonus for each Ofsted inspection where a good or above rating is achieved, and a Christmas bonus.
It’s a great environment to work in, with a dedicated RI who works full-time in the organisation. You will get the support you need when you need it, and with involved owners who really care, it can make all the difference, particularly if you are fed up of working for big corporate/private equity providers who prioritize profit margins over the quality of care; this company will be a breath of fresh air!
As a Registered Manager, you will be responsible for:
* Delivering care that is focused on obtaining the best outcomes for each child/young person within the home.
* Assessment and evaluation of new referrals and managing a smooth transition into the home.
* Ensuring that Ofsted standards are being met.
* Management of the home’s budget and expenditure.
* Responsible for safeguarding and child protection.
* Developing quality assurance systems.
* Delivering effective leadership to the staff team that promotes a positive culture of open practice.
* Ensuring the staff rota is effective.
What we are looking for:
* It is ESSENTIAL that you have experience as a Registered Manager or an experienced Deputy Manager of a Children’s Home previously, and can demonstrate a sound knowledge of Ofsted regulations.
* Experience of working with children and young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties.
* You will demonstrate a sound understanding of Ofsted requirements.
* At least 2 years of management experience in a children's residential setting within the last 5 years.
* QCF level 5 or equivalent in Leadership and Management for Social Care (Children and Young People) or willingness to complete this within the first year of employment.
