How you'll make a difference

Do you want to create, grow, and lead a network of children’s homes where children feel at home, supported, and encouraged to grow and flourish every day?

Phoenix Learning and Care is expanding, and we’re opening new children’s homes in South Gloucestershire to support children with social and emotional needs related to Autism, ADHD, and Trauma. To make this happen, we need experienced Residential Leaders who will be at the forefront of our mission. You’ll play a vital role in the growth of our homes and help us recruit the right team members who will provide the best possible care and support for the children of South Gloucestershire every day.

At Phoenix Learning & Care, we ensure that the children we support experience as many positive opportunities as possible—just like other children. But we can’t do this without the support of our Area Managers.

As the Area Manager for South Gloucestershire, you’ll have overall management responsibility for several three-bedroom children’s homes. Each home within your area will be led by a Registered Manager and a team of Support Workers, all dedicated to the well-being of the children. Your leadership will play a key part in developing these teams, enhancing the support provided to the children, and ensuring the success of each home.

You’ll be part of a team of Area Managers who work together in ensuring all the children's homes are effectively supported. You’ll also be required to provide an on-call service out of working hours on a rota basis.

Discounts  – You’ll have access to brilliant discounts through the Blue Light Card and our own employee benefits platform. Wellbeing Support  – Your wellbeing is always our priority. You’ll have access to mental health and wellbeing support. On top of this, our therapies team offers a monthly confidential check in clinic, and group reflective practice sessions. Cycle2Work  -The cycle to work scheme enables you to buy a bicycle at a discounted rate. DBS  – As this role required you to have an enhanced DBS carried out, we will cover this cost.

After 12 months service you’ll also be eligible for our Medicash scheme which covers a wide range of medical, health and wellbeing expenses (Including immediate access to a GP). You’ll get life assurance paid at x2 your annual salary, and even more high street discounts.

In line with safer recruitment guidelines, we will run an online check on the successful candidate. This can and may include any public social media profiles.

At Phoenix Learning and Care, we pride ourselves on our diverse workforce, and ensuring we have an inclusive environment for all our team members. We remain committed to ensuring our teams can bring their true selves to work without risk or fear of discrimination.

What will you be doing? Assisting with the management of recruitment, team supervisions, meetings, budgets and inspections. You’ll spend a good amount of time making sure the team you manage have the skills, experience and training they need to be the best support possible for the child in your care. Ensuring all staff and homes are compliant with statutory obligations and relevant legislation, meeting all professional and legal responsibilities regarding Health and Safety issues, and ensuring that all monitoring requirements are met. This includes liaising with the Phoenix Learning & Care property team to ensure homes are fit for purpose. Supporting children to have the best quality of life possible. Working with the team to arrange and plan activities, whether it be baking at home, fun days out, or holidays with them. Conducting monthly reviews of each home to ensure children are kept safe and the team are regularly reviewing the children's plans to ensure they suit their needs. Ensuring managers are keeping accurate and updated records and any incidents are reported correctly, through our bespoke recording system.

What we need from you

Patience, compassion, and resilience – The children you’ll support may have experienced trauma, which may have an impact on their behaviour. Great communication skills – Both verbal and written communication is important in this role as you’ll be speaking to a lot of different people at different times including your team, stakeholders and OFSTED inspectors. A driving licence – We need you to be able to travel between your homes on a regular basis, in return you’ll received a Company Car Allowance. Leadership and Management – You'll need to provide your team with coaching, mentoring and training, assess their abilities and continually review areas of improvement. You’ll need to lead from the front, setting examples to your team and being a role model within the home. Strong IT skills – We’ll train you on how to use our systems, but it is essential you have a working understanding of using Microsoft packages like Excel, Word, Outlook and Teams. Ideally, you’ll hold your Level 5 Diploma or NVQ Level 4 Registered Managers Award or equivalent, with experience of managing a residential home/service. To apply, please follow this link -
