Are you ready to step into a role where your leadership genuinely transforms lives? Imagine being part of a home where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow - a place where every day offers the chance to make a meaningful and lasting impact. We’re looking for an experienced Children’s Home Manager to join our team and continue the vital work of leading a dedicated group of support workers who create a nurturing, empowering environment for children. In this role, your guidance and vision will help ensure every child can flourish.
You’ll play a central part in developing and strengthening a compassionate team that consistently delivers exceptional care. This is more than a management role; it’s an opportunity to build authentic connections with both your team and the children, shaping a space where they can thrive and truly feel at home. We know that achieving this level of care takes passionate, committed leaders. If that sounds like you, we’d love to talk.
A day in the life of a Children’s Home Manager will involve:
- Managing recruitment, team supervisions, meetings, and inspections.
- Supporting children to have the best quality of life possible.
- Working with the team to arrange and plan activities, whether it be baking at home, fun days out, or holidays with them.
- Ensuring our children are kept safe and their plans suit their needs.
- Working with multidisciplinary teams to ensure the children we look after have the right support and care plans in place.
To be a successful Children’s Home Manager, you’ll need:
- Patience, compassion, and resilience – The children you’ll support may have experienced trauma, which may have an impact on their behaviour.
- Great communication skills – Both verbal and written communication is important in this role as you’ll be speaking to a lot of different people at different times and need to be able to update the children’s plans.
- A driving licence – Our children love to be out in the community. We need you to be able to drive them to where they need to go. We have the cars; you just need the licence.
- To be flexible – Our Children’s Home Managers play a key role in keeping our homes running day to day and are required to undertake a variety of tasks including undertaking health, safety and risk assessments, budget management, and willingness to contribute to the on-call rota.
- Ideally, you’ll hold your level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management.
In return for your time, you’ll get:
- Holidays – You’ll get 33 days annual leave, inclusive of bank holidays.
- Pension scheme – Our pension scheme is based on you paying in 5%, and us adding 3%.
