LOCATION: MUCH HADHAM SG10 6EW

Do you have experience of leading and managing Residential Children’s Homes? Are you experienced in Ofsted inspections and Children’s Home compliance and are seeking a new challenge?

About the role

St Elizabeth’s is a unique organisation that specialises in providing high quality care and education to children and young people with Epilepsy and other complex medical conditions. We are offering an exciting opportunity for a Head of Residential Childcare Services to lead, develop and oversee seven children’s homes, ensuring the highest standard of bespoke care and support is provided for each young person. Over the next 12 months, we plan to register our seven homes individually with Ofsted and the post holder will play a pivotal role in leading on the registrations and ensuring its success. This role will not act as a Registered Manager for the services.

About you

This opportunity will allow you to use your existing knowledge and expertise in the management of Children’s Homes, to implement new ideas, support and develop our Registered Managers, ensure best practice and compliance with Ofsted regulations.

You’ll be working in collaboration with multi-disciplinary teams across St Elizabeth’s, so well developed interpersonal skills are essential. You will be someone that thinks outside the box; taking service expansion and admissions into consideration, alongside managing the day-today operations of the service.

We would love to hear from you if you have:

  • experience working with children with learning disabilities in a care setting
  • previous experience working as a Registered Manager (or similar)
  • experience in Ofsted inspections, compliance and regulations
  • a relevant degree or equivalent professional qualification in Residential Child Care or Health & Social Care (min Level 4 RMA)

This role will work 5 days out of 7 days, usually Monday to Friday but flexible to meet service needs.

Why Work For Us

Based across 60 acres of beautiful countryside, St Elizabeth's is a charity supporting children, young people and adult day clients with epilepsy and other complex medical conditions, the severity of which impacts upon their health, social, behaviour, learning and emotional development.

Over the past 120 years, St Elizabeth's has grown and developed to comprise a non-maintained special School for both boarders and day students, a specialist Further Education College, domiciliary care for College learners, Supported Living in the community, a comprehensive Day Opportunities programme for adult day clients and 24 hour health provision provided by specialist nurses and therapists.
