About Us:
Mary Hare educates profoundly deaf children at its residential school in Berkshire, and we pride ourselves on our pupils' achievements at GCSE, A Level as well as B Tech and Vocational Courses. We offer the opportunity to teach highly motivated children, in small classes, where you can make a real difference at this national centre of excellence for deaf education. No knowledge of sign language is required, as we follow an auditory/oral philosophy.
The school offers a holistic approach to care, and this involves carrying schoolwork into out-of-school life. This involves communication with all professionals that work within both the senior and primary schools. These can be teachers, classroom assistants, audiologists, nurses, speech therapists and specialists from cochlear implant teams, social workers etc. but most importantly care staff will have a good communication link with parents, especially those of their key children.
The Role:
We are looking for a dynamic, professional and enthusiastic person to lead one of our residential boarding houses. Our culture is one of teamwork and of enabling staff of all levels to develop and be the best professional they can be and therefore your approach should be one of open communication, collaboration and empowerment.
House leaders will need to understand the regulatory framework for Residential Special schools and have a good understanding of how to apply the Children's Homes Regulations 2015. House leaders lead and promote a predictable and safe environment for children and young people who live in the house during term time. They promote effective and open relationships with parents and carers, ensure excellent levels of compliance across all areas of their service.
House Leaders undertake a rota shift pattern and develop rotas which meet the needs of the children in place, they undertake sleep in duties and weekend work. Extra payment is made for sleeping-in duties and overtime.
