Bright Selection is recruiting for an experienced Deputy Manager to join an Outstanding-rated four-bed children’s residential home supporting young people affected by complex childhood trauma.
The young people are settled but may display behaviours related to their previous experiences, including difficulties around family contact and risks of going missing.

* Providing direct care and therapeutic support
* Supporting safeguarding, care planning and regulatory compliance
* Supervising, mentoring and developing staff
* Assisting with rotas, audits and quality assurance
* Creating positive activities and experiences for the young people
* Supporting the continued development of the staff culture
Essential requirements:
* Level 3 Residential Childcare or Children and Young People’s Workforce
* At least two years’ experience within a children’s residential home
* Previous senior or supervisory experience
* Experience supporting young people affected by complex trauma
* Strong safeguarding knowledge
* The ability to lead shifts and remain actively involved in direct care
* An energetic, resilient and child-focused approach
Benefits include:
* 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
* Additional leave for your birthday, volunteering, health and wellbeing, and festive shopping
* Ofsted performance bonus
* Medicash healthcare benefits and therapeutic support
* Pension scheme
* Electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme
