Registered Manager Children’s Care Home

Working in our Children’s Homes means being a part of a young person’s day to day life. As a Registered Manager you will make sure that the home environment can support this by ensuring both your staff and the young people feel secure, safe and motivated. Our homes accommodate young people with social, emotional and mental health needs, and our aim is to create the best possible outcome for the young people in our care. This is all made possible because our service is holistic and touches on every aspect of our young people’s developmental needs.

By managing the day to day operations in the home and taking ownership of Ofsted requirements you enable our young people to get their childhood back and create pathways to become well rounded adults – an incredibly rewarding role to have. You will actively be involved with new referrals and be safe in the knowledge that you will be providing a home in the UK’s leading provider of specialist education and care.

For your hard work and commitment, we reward you with the best salary and benefits package in the care sector. With us, you’ll get to make a genuine difference to the lives of our young people – plus you’ll get:

• Bonuses: Bonus of 10% of salary reviewed annually, £2,500 on call bonus (approx. 10 weekends per year) and Attendance allowance £1,400. You also receive a long-term incentive plan – a bonus of 30% of salary accrued each year and paid as a future lump sum.
• Training: A full 4-week induction on our Care Academy.
• Holiday: You’ll work hard at WG, so you’ll be rewarded with 7 weeks’ holiday.
• Flexible benefits package: meaning you can increase/decrease your holiday allowance, pension and life insurance.
• Wellbeing: a host of wellbeing tools and advice including employee assistance.
• Private Health Insurance: Medical cover so you can claim back the cost of things like an opticians or dentist appointment and a host of high-street discounts.
• Meals: provided while you’re at work.
• Beautiful working environments: with the very best facilities.
• Recommend a friend scheme: that offers a £1,000 bonus every time.

Our young people come from all walks of life, diverse backgrounds and with different needs – and our workforce reflects that diversity, so that our teams can engage, encourage and inspire our young people to be themselves.

Requirements:

• Experience managing an Ofsted rated Good or Outstanding children’s home.
• Level 5 Diploma qualification in Leadership and Management for Residential Childcare (England).
• A full UK driving licence which you’ve held for at least 12 months.
