Do you have experience of leading and managing Residential Childrens Homes?

Are you experienced in Ofsted inspections and Childrens Home compliance and are seeking a new challenge, where you do not hold registration for a service?

About the role

St Elizabeths 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 childrens homes, ensuring the highest standard of bespoke care and support is provided for each young person.

Youll be working in collaboration with multi-disciplinary teams across St Elizabeths, 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. You will be creative and strategic in your approach allowing you to effectively bring the Childrens Services strategic plan to realisation.

We would love to hear from you if you have:

Substantial experience working with children with learning disabilities in a residential care setting
previous experience working as a Registered Manager (or similar)
experience in Ofsted inspections, compliance and regulations
a Level 5 Diploma Leadership and Management in Childrens and Young Peoples Workforce or relevant degree or equivalent professional qualification

This role will work 5 days out of 7 days, usually Monday to Friday 9.00am - 5.00pm but with flexibility to meet service need.
