Rotherham, United Kingdom Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council Full time

Are you an experienced, solution oriented, systemic working, child focused Manager, keen to work alongside partners and particularly our children and young people to develop a new model of residential intervention in Rotherham? This post could be for you…

The Deputy Children’s Home Manager posts will play a key role in the development and management of a range of in-house residential provision for Rotherham looked after children.

Rotherham Council has made a strategic decision to make a significant investment in children’s residential services. This will ensure more of our looked after children are placed in Rotherham, close to their local communities, family, and schools.

We are using current best practice and evidence-based models to develop a range of new children`s homes including 2 and 4 bed EBD, emergency accommodation and solo provision for some of our most complex children and young people.

We are looking for Deputy Children’s Home Managers that are keen to be part of setting up and managing new homes and have previous experience of working in specialist solo provision, mental health residential settings, crisis accommodation and with children and young people with sensory, ASD, mental health needs and who have suffered significant trauma. 

This new residential provision will be part of a Children and Young People Service judged as `Good` by Ofsted in August 2022 and build on practice from our short break residential home provision.

Deputy Managers in Rotherham will:

Provide assistance and management support to the Registered Manager in the day to day running of service provision, as well as manage the home and workforce in the absence of the Registered Manager Provide assistance to Registered Manager to ensure homes comply with all standards and legislative requirements Provide opportunities for children and young people to influence the decisions that affect them and the service they receive Promote a therapeutic approach with both children and young people and staff Foster a commitment to continuous growth and development for their staff team Work systemically with a range of agencies to ensure a joined-up service centred on the child Monitor and develop standards in line with Children’s Home Regulations and work towards ensuring all homes being Good or Outstanding Hold a full valid UK drivers licence Ability to transport children and young people to and from school/activities

Key benefits of working at Rotherham Council’s Children and Young People’s service are:

Strong support and clear direction from Senior Managers Extensive training programme, to develop and professionalise our residential managers and residential practitioners. This will include the ‘Signs of Safety’ operating model and Restorative Practice approaches Residential services that have access to and work closely with our high quality in house therapeutic service Innovative Edge of Care Services and a strong Early Help offer which is reducing demand and supporting professionals to think systemically and develop creative options to support children and young people Looked After Children are prioritised for CAMHS assessment and intervention The opportunity to make a real difference to the children, young people, and families Investment in you as a manager involving support, supervision, training and opportunity for professional development and progression. Local Authority pension and 30 days annual leave to be taken in line with the agreed weekend annual leave allocation as detailed in employer handbook.

About you

We are seeking talented, inspirational, and innovative Managers who can:

Innovate to help re-define children’s residential services Promote a learning and coaching culture Develop the skills and practices of our Social Care team to provide an outstanding service to children and young people Add value and make the most of available resources

We are seeking inspirational, resilient and child focused Managers who are committed to:

Developing their skills and practices in order to provide an outstanding residential service to children and young people Promoting and being part of a learning and coaching culture Supporting and caring for some of our most complex children and young people, at times in solo provision Working evening, weekend, and sleep in shifts as part of the residential team

Our vision is for the children and families of Rotherham to routinely experience and describe the services they receive from us, as outstanding and we intend to do that by putting the child first in everything we do.

By managing our residential teams, you will play a crucial role in developing their skills and practice and our collective commitment to an ethos of excellence, integrity, trust, and transparency. Joining us at a time of change with regard to developing our provision provides you an opportunity to be involved and influence the service design and development of practice in line with best practice and evidence-based approaches.
