About the Service

This is a unique opportunity to establish a new children's home that will provide a safe, stable and nurturing environment for a young person who needs support in an emergency or at very short notice, while longer‑term care is identified. Once the home is established, it will grow to support two young people.
The children and young people we support will have experienced significant trauma and may present with complex emotional, behavioural and mental health needs, including risks linked to exploitation, self‑harm, going missing, neurodiversity and placement instability. They need a service that can meet their needs safely and effectively, while creating a home where they feel secure, listened to and valued.

The home will be registered and regulated by Ofsted, and we are committed to working closely with them to ensure the highest standards of care and safeguarding.

• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management, (children/young people) or the equivalent, with a view to completing your Level 5 whilst in post (supported by us)
• Minimum of 2 years' experience of supervising a team within a children's home, residential short breaks, or children's services.
