Registered Manager- Children's Home - 9879

Gloucester

This is a Gloucestershire County Council job.
 

Having successfully recruited to the Registered Manager and Deputy Manager positions for our first two children’s homes, Gloucestershire is making excellent headway in realising our vision to establish a diverse range of local children’s homes. We are now preparing to open our third home and are therefore seeking applications from professionals who are passionate about leading the service and ensuring our most vulnerable children and young people cared for within the home receive appropriate services to enable them to achieve timely permanence.

Reward and Support

For all your hard work, you will receive the following:

Right Child, Right Support, Right Time, Every Time

Gloucestershire’s vision is ‘Working together to support families and communities to give every child the best chance of a happy and rewarding life, especially those who need more help.'  Implementation of our ambitious improvement and transformation plans are creating the optimum conditions within which our staff can make a real difference and improve outcomes for children. The investment we’ve committed into our in-house residential strategy demonstrates our commitment to getting this right for our children and young people.

About us

Within our first phase we are opening one children’s home which caters for younger children who need a period of intense support, with a view to enabling them to return to a family setting, whether that be foster care or back home. In addition, we recognise some young people need longer term residential care so, as part of our Sufficiency Strategy, our second home aims to provide this provision, with semi-independent facilities on site and integral to the offer.

Our third home will also cater for children and young people who require a period of intense support in a children’s home, with a view to supporting them back into a family setting. However, the target group for this home will be slightly older and complement the service provided by our first home.

All our homes will offer a service to those children and young people for whom residential care is a placement of choice and assessed to be the most appropriate resource to enable them to fulfil their potential. We’re committed to working with our statutory partners as part of a trauma-informed, integrated approach which focuses holistically on what needs to change in order to achieve timely permanence.

About you

If you are an aspiring or experienced Registered Manager and are committed to improving outcomes for children and young people in care, Gloucestershire  would like to hear from you. We’re particularly interested in hearing from established managers or deputies with leadership skills backed up by demonstrable outcomes regarding the children’s homes you’ve been leading over the last 2+ years. We’d also be interested in hearing from qualified social workers who are interested in broadening their experience and expertise from fieldwork into this regulated service, and for whom, comprehensive support and training would be available. 

There are lots of opportunities for you to join a workforce with great training and career development, supported by our highly regarded Social Work Academy. As part of this support, we are also appointing a dedicated Specialist Advanced Educator for residential care, whose focus is to support each of our children’s homes to develop outstanding services for our children and young people.

As well as your experience of working in children’s homes and/or aspirations to develop expertise within this area of regulated service provision, there are some things we require of you to be successfully appointed to this post:

Interviews for this vacancy will be held on the 2nd of October 2024.

For an informal chat about this role, please email ChildrenHomeRecruitment@gloucestershire.gov.uk and someone will get in touch with you and respond to any questions you may have.

We reserve the right to close an advertisement earlier than the stated closing date if we receive a suitable number of applications or fill the vacancy/vacancies.
