Team Manager - 16 Plus Care Leavers

Are you experienced working with young people in residential or semi-independent services? Do you want to progress your career in 16+ Care Leavers services? Do you have managerial experience and a positive leadership style? Are you looking for an exciting and ambitious care provider? Apply here!

I am recruiting for a Team Manager to work in a specialist semi-independent service for 16+ young people from a range of backgrounds including fostering placement breakdown, leaving care preparation or asylum seeking status.

The Team Manager will be overseeing two services under the Registered Manager, leading a team of trained Support Workers, ensuring statutory and regulatory compliance, and ensuring all young people are correctly safeguarded and given the best possible opportunities.

The Team Manager is a permanent full-time post paying £30,000 salary per annum plus on-call allowance payment and additional pay if required to go into the service whilst on call.

The successful candidate must have:

• Prior experience working in a children\’s home or semi-independent service
• Level 3 or 4 Residential Childcare (or equivalent)
• Driver and Vehicle (due to travelling between services)
• Strong experience of working with young people, challenging behaviour, and Ofsted regulations

This role is predominantly a Monday to Friday role but due to the needs of the young people could require weekend working where needed and an on-call expectation, so the successful candidate must be flexible.

If you are looking to move out of residential care, this is a fantastic role for you!
