• Be part of an on-call rota to support service continuity

What Makes This Exciting:
• Join from the pre-registration phase and shape the home your way
• Backed by an experienced Responsible Individual and provider
• Clear scope for autonomy and long-term impact
• Significant bonus potential linked to Ofsted outcomes
• Meaningful, child-first ethos that’s more than just words

About You:
• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management (Residential Childcare)
• At least 2 years’ experience supervising staff in a children’s home

• 3 personal wellbeing days per year
• Paid birthday leave and meals on shift
• Laptop and work phone provided
