Dunoon Argyll amp Bute, United Kingdom CareTech UK Full time

Spark of Genius is one of Scotland’s largest residential child care providers. For over 25 years, we have been delivering high quality care to young people who need to be looked after. Spark of Genius is also part of the UK-wide CareTech family who are committed to providing each child with opportunities to have their individual needs met.

We are currently recruiting for a Residential Assistant Home Manager to join our team at Spark of Genius.

Spark of Genius are a leading provider of education and residential care throughout the UK offering individualised pathways to empower and enable children and young people. We have several small residential homes, which runs 365 days a year, for children, and young people for which we invite referrals.

The homes cater for vulnerable and in some instances challenging children and young people. Our homes provide a therapeutic environment to support children and young people who have a variety of needs. The Assistant Residential Manager will support the Residential Managers in the efficient running of the residential home. You will largely be responsible for assisting the Residential Manager in the efficient operational management of the house as well as providing excellent care to the children and young people. As part of an ongoing professional development, you would also be required to highlight training needs, organising and oversee the completion of training plans, supervision, rota management and have an excellent understanding of national care standards. The Assistant Manager will have the ability to set, monitor and meet key performance indicators which are also an essential part of this role. You must have significant experience and be confident of providing exceptional care and support to enhance the residential experiences of vulnerable young people. The Assistant Manager will be directly accountable to the Manager, to support the role of the Manager and deputise in their absence, taking responsibility for the management of the service, including the staff team, practice, budget, resources and the welfare of children and young people. The Assistant Manager will participate in an on call rota to ensure effective management across services on a 24/7 basis.

Share responsibility for ensuring that all practices are developed and performed within the organizational policies and procedures and the legislative framework pertaining to children and young people. Safeguarding children and vulnerable people is a priority for all employees.

Spark of Genius provides a home for children not a children’s home. Our primary aim is to create an environment of constant warmth, predictability and responsiveness to need, with the opportunity for children to experience new models of adult/child and peer group relationships. It is our belief that, in these new relationships, children can experience conflict with positive rather than negative resolutions.

Main duties will include assisting the Manager with devising and monitoring of systems to ensure that the staff team carries out all duties and responsibilities as prescribed within their job descriptions, relevant occupational standards, National Care Standards and policies and procedures. As part of an ongoing professional development, you would also be required to highlight training needs, organising and oversee the completion of training plans, supervision and rota management. A number of hours will be spent attending meetings, staff meetings, supervision, annual appraisals, training, and young people’s reviews.

At all times the Assistant Manager is expected to conduct themselves professionally and adhere to Spark of Genius Policies and Procedures, and that to achieve this they will successfully complete induction and ongoing training.

To support the development of a style of leadership and organisational culture to ensure open and participatory management and practice, promoting the well being of individual
