Overview
We are recruiting an experienced, positive and enthusiastic Team Leader/House Manager who, under the guidance of the Deputy Head of Care and Head of Care (Registered Manager), will support their allocated staff team to care for and support students throughout their placement at Cambian Lufton College. The role focuses on a person-centred approach and high levels of engagement within the homes through staff passion and commitment to provide outstanding quality of care. The successful candidate will receive excellent professional development and opportunities for ongoing career progression.
What do we need from you?
* Line management experience within a care setting is essential, along with a positive and pro-active approach.
* Experience and ability to motivate and manage a small team of support workers to ensure homes are compliant with CQC regulations and have an active and current home improvement plan.

About the school
Cambian Lufton College is situated across a number of sites which include Lufton Manor, Lufton Manor Farm and community houses that together make up a 30 acre rural campus on the outskirts of Yeovil, Somerset. The College caters for young people and adults aged 16-25 who have additional learning needs and associated complex behaviours that may challenge. The College offers both 38 and 52 week residential placements, with a holistic approach from our education, care, clinical and support teams to those with additional and complex needs including Autism and Asperger’s. This is a unique opportunity to work collaboratively in a supportive environment with trained, qualified professionals and to join an expanding, successful educational organisation.
Requirements for an Enhanced DBS and safeguarding
Requirements for an Enhanced DBS and reference checking will be undertaken in line with government regulations and safer recruitment best practice. While recruitment may take longer due to these checks, all young people are equally entitled to have their needs met in a fair and balanced way. Cambian Group employees are responsible for promoting equal opportunities for all and for challenging any behaviour or practice which discriminates against any young person or colleague on the grounds of race, religion, disability, age, gender, sexual orientation or any other perceived difference.
Safeguarding checks and searches
We will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates as part of a safeguarding check. The search will assess whether an individual is suitable to work with children. To avoid unconscious bias and any risk of discrimination, the person on the appointment panel will conduct the search and will only share information if findings are relevant and of concern.
