“The registered manager expertly demonstrates excellent practice. This creates a culture of high expectations and aspirations for children and staff”.

**Main Responsibilities and Duties**:

- To be responsible forthe management, development, supervision and appraisal of a team of residential workers, and the services they provide both inside and outside the establishment.
- To be aware of all in-house procedures, principles and guidelines and all departmental guidelines and procedures.
- To share responsibility for the care and welfare of all children and young people using the services offered by the resource and to ensure policies, philosophies and practice are such as to keep their best interests paramount.

Please see the job description for further details

**About you**:

- You will support the Head of Home in their tasks and in their absence be responsible for the continuation and development of good practice according to the policies and guidelines of Buckinghamshire County Council.
- You will demonstrate the ability to build on the well-established ethics and practice standards existing within Buckinghamshire Council and proactively contribute to the continuous improvement of these standards
- The “primary purpose” is to make a positive contribution to the lives of children. We make this contribution by ensuring that all our interactions are exceptional, that our knowledge and skills represent excellence and that we support people to develop purposeful and warm relationships.
