Deputy Manager Childrens Residential Care
Gloucestershire
Salary: £33,000 - £39,000
Full-time Permanent
Are you a compassionate leader with a bold vision for what high-quality care can look like for young people? Do you thrive in dynamic environments where no two days are the same and where your influence truly matters?
We're working with a respected provider of residential services for children and young people in the Gloucestershire area, looking for a dedicated Deputy Manager to help lead a home that offers more than just shelter, it offers hope, belonging, and opportunity.
Who You Are
You're a confident professional with a clear understanding of the complexities young people face, particularly those shaped by trauma and adversity. You bring not only experience but insight - the kind of insight that builds trust, shapes teams, and transforms lives.
You know how to lead by example, support a staff team, and contribute to a culture of openness, resilience, and care. You're just as comfortable handling serious safeguarding concerns as you are celebrating a young person's first day back at school. You're ready to step up - or step in - to make sure young people receive consistent, meaningful support every single day.
What You'll Need
* A Level 3 or 4 qualification in Health & Social Care Children
* Level 5 in Leadership & Management or working towards it
* At least one year's experience in a senior or deputy role within childrens residential care
* Strong knowledge of childrens legislation, safeguarding frameworks, and care standards
* A history of working in or supporting homes rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted
* A valid UK driving licence
What You'll Be Doing
* Supporting the Registered Manager with day-to-day operations
* Leading, mentoring and developing care teams
* Driving high-quality, person-centred care planning
* Ensuring regulatory compliance and safeguarding protocols
* Fostering a positive, stable home environment where young people feel safe and valued
* Taking an active role in multi-agency meetings and reviews
* Supporting childrens transitions in and out of the service with sensitivity and structure
Why Join This Team?
This is a rare opportunity to work within a deeply values-driven organisation that has been supporting vulnerable young people for over two decades. You'll be part of a leadership team that believes in investing in its staff - with training, support, and genuine opportunities for progression.
You'll Also Enjoy
* Generous holiday and pension package
* Supportive leadership and regular supervision
* Access to ongoing professional development
* Team events and recognition of achievements
* Free parking on-site
