Are you an experienced Deputy Manager or Manager looking for your next career adventure? Are you looking to make a difference to a child's life, provide positive experiences and act as a role model to the future generations? Are you patient, understanding and prepared to support and care for vulnerable children with learning difficulties?
Both of our homes, Mayfield Lodge and Rainbow Lodge, have been judged as GOOD by Ofsted and we are actively working towards an OUTSTANDING rating.
Let's tell you about the Role.
This is a role with challenge, growth, and purpose at its heart. It's a role that inspires others and brings your creative mind to life.
Our current Home Manager is soon going on maternity leave. As a result, we are searching for a Children's Home Manager to oversee both homes with a strong team in support to cover her leave (minimum 1 year cover). As a growing company, we are confident that there will be other opportunities that arise in the future too.
You will oversee Mayfield Lodge (with 3 young people) and Rainbow Lodge (with 2 young people).
Reporting to our Registered Manager, you will be supported by Deputy managers and Senior support workers, taking accountability for all operational aspects of the home especially the culture of the home and ensuring that our young people flourish.
Focusing on areas such as quality management, rota planning, retention, budget, training & mentoring will be part of the role. You will be responsible for the safety of all, and you'll motivate your team with ideas that keep the people we support engaged, fulfilled and happy. The sense of fun you'll bring helps make things happen.
We see this as more than a job, this is the start of your career journey with us. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your career and reach your full potential.
As well as all the above you will receive regular supervisions, appraisals and your very own development plan within the organisation. You will have opportunities to meet regularly with directors and managers both formally and informally ensuring you have sufficient support networks from within the organisation.
Let's Hear About You.
Passion for positively shaping lives is just as important to us as your experience. Building on your existing knowledge we will give you all the training and support that you need. You just need an appetite for learning and a real desire to make a difference to young peoples' lives.
