4 weeks ago


Gainsborough, United Kingdom Lincolnshire County Council Full time

About the Role

We offer a great work life balance, and these Senior roles are on a full time (37 hours per week), permanent basis.  You will work a varied rota which is given in advance, and it will include some overnights at the home where a ‘sleeping in’ payment of  £40.76 is paid for each shift you sleep in and mileage is paid at 45p per mile  and there is free parking at all our homes.

At Lincolnshire County Council,  we believe every child has the right to outstanding care . It’s why our devoted Carers find creative ways to help children and young people with a range of complex disabilities, medical conditions and behavioural problems to learn, grow and flourish. Our Carers understand that as a result of their lived experiences, some of our young people may express themselves in ways that require compassion, patience and understanding and our carers are given the tools to help navigate these complex emotional dynamics. Whether our Carers are helping a child or young person to process the information around them or dealing with behaviours that challenge, they embrace the emotional and physical demands of our work with readiness and courage. Join us at the forefront of innovation and help us lead the way

We currently have vacancies at Albion Street in Spalding and Northolme in Gainsborough.

About the Homes

Albion Street is a home for 6 children. We ensure that our children are cared for in a loving and safe environment, giving them the best possible life chances. Homes Manager Dina says "Every day at Albion street has love and laughter, no one day is the same. It is a rewarding career and a privilege to be part of our children's lives."

Northolme is a long term children's home based in Gainsborough. We have 6 children who live at the home and are nurtured and supported by the staff team to fulfil their potential. Homes Manager Gemma says "No two days are the same and its an amazing career to be part of. An RCO3 is the beginning of your Management Journey and you will be supported to develop further to potentially become one of the future managers."

About the Team

You will work alongside experienced Managers and Assistant Managers both in the home and from across the residential estates, with the opportunity to meet up with colleagues from our other homes to complete training and share best practice. We also have several staff networks and engagement groups that you can get involved in.

The team that you will work alongside are all kind, compassionate, and resilient carers who give children a sense of security and form deep connections with them. They are dependable and responsible role models who work closely together to ensure the children have the best possible outcomes.

Many of our Senior Leaders started their careers as Carer's in Residential Children's Homes. Learn more about what a rewarding career in Children's care looks like in the attached document, where our Service Lead Katie describes her career journey.

About You

We are looking for a  creative, empathic and resilient  person to join our team. You will need to have knowledge and experience of working with children in a senior role. The successful applicant will have the ability to manage and lead a team of carers who engage with children and young people to enable them to develop new skills and create a safe and stimulating environment.

You will need to display great  decision making and excellent communication skills. You will need the ability to remain calm and professional and be able to effectively communicate your decisions and direction to others.

Successful  candidates will hold or be expected to work towards a fully funded Level 3 Children and Young People's Workforce Diploma  or equivalent and we will also support you to complete a fully funded Level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management. Allocated time is given to you each month to support with your studies.

Our Offer To You

There is clear career progression for our Level 3 Residential Carers, many of whom have progressed into Assistant Manager or Management roles and we are happy to support you to do the same if this is a career pathway you choose. We encourage progression and development and will give you the opportunity to manage and supervise a team while you train and learn.

Along with a competitive salary we also offer our employees an excellent government pension scheme, generous annual leave entitlement with the option to buy more and comprehensive benefits package with lifestyle discounts on gym memberships, travel shopping and more. Meals are also provided as part of the family when on shift.

In joining us, you will be rewarded with a career defining opportunity to become part of an ambitious and growing service that is committed to staff retention, development and equality.
