We take a trauma-informed approach, ensuring individualised care and understanding of our children's needs.
Flexibility is key. We welcome applications from experienced assistant managers in residential children's homes, looking to continue developing, or existing registered managers with interest in the development of therapeutic care.
Working within the Local Authority, you'll be integrated into our professional network, fostering robust connections with key practitioners involved in the lives of children.
Prior experience in a residential children's setting is essential, and an Enhanced DBS Check is required for this role.
Please note that this role is subject to an Enhanced DBS Check.
