Regional Compliance Manager (Wraparound)
Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire (Head Office is based in Buckingham)
£32,000 to £33,000 salary plus travel expenses
Full-Time / Monday to Friday
Office based with one day working from home
-----------------------------------
We're incredibly excited to be supporting an established and reputable organisation in a period of growth as they look for a Regional Compliance Manager to join their senior team.
If you're already working in a similar role or you're a Childcare Manager with 3-5 years experience in Ofsted-regulated Early Years and/or Primary School venues and are looking for a role that doesn't involve day-to-day delivery and operations responsibility BUT you want to remain in a role where you get to influence performance and compliance to provide the best experiences for both children and and staff - this will be a great fit!
This role will see you working alongside a team of full-time delivery and operations staff who operate nearly 40 wraparound and holiday camp venues across Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire and daily travel is essential.
Based in the office from 9am-3pm daily, you will spend time with the setting management teams, offering training, guidance, and support to ensure all sites are Ofsted-ready, safeguarding compliant, and following all company policies and procedures. You will then arrange daily visits to after-school clubs to observe, monitor, assess, and evaluate individual/team performance and put plans in place to address any concerns or celebrate success.
You will need to be an empathetic and collaborative leader; someone who understands that things aren't always perfect and that with the right support, guidance and training, your teams and staff will feel empowered to make the right decisions and create the right environments. If you're a power-hungry, authoritative leader - please don't apply.
