Look no further! We have a fantastic opportunity for a Deputy Residential Homes Manager to join our friendly, supportive team here at Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council.
We are looking to recruit to a new home due to open this year. The focus of the home will be to work in conjunction with health partners to provide a therapeutic based model of care for those children and young people who have experienced trauma and may have attachment issues.

You will have the skills, knowledge and drive to support the Registered Manager to lead and deliver care packages that support our ethos and mission statement to ‘turnaround the lives of young people in order to prepare them to live in a family’. Our homes are supported by a therapist to help develop and deliver individualised packages of support.
What our young people say! “The service and the care home manager have been so supportive and have helped me build my confidence and turn my life around, and I’m now hoping to go to university. Living in the home has been living as part of a family for me, and the neighbours treat us like just another family on the street.”
What Ofsted Said about our homes! “It’s clear the children in this home are loved” “Children love living here and do not want to leave!”
What other professionals say! “The homes are ‘brilliant’, the staff are ‘child-centred’. It is clear how much the children are cared for, and the staff are extremely proud of the children’s achievements.”
