Shape the Future as a Team Leader in a Children’s Residential Home!

Hamptons is partnering with a respected children’s residential care provider based in Rushden, offering therapeutic support for young people with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (EBD). This pivotal role is perfect for professionals looking to lead by example and contribute meaningfully to young lives.

Why This Role Stands Out:

– Attractive Hourly Rate: Earn between £14.18 – £15.50 per hour, based on experience and qualifications.
– Career Progression: Ideal for those looking to step into leadership or build towards management in a nurturing, trauma-informed environment.
– Positive Culture: Work with a dedicated and passionate team who prioritise the wellbeing and progress of every young person.
– Continuous Development: Access to comprehensive training and nationally recognised qualifications.
– Additional Perks: Enhanced DBS covered by the employer, free parking, and a clear pathway to further leadership roles.

Key Responsibilities:

– Support the Home Manager and Deputy Manager in delivering a safe, consistent, and high-quality residential service.
– Lead shifts, supervise support staff, and ensure all young people’s needs are met in line with their care plans.
– Promote positive outcomes for young people through engagement, structure, and supportive relationships.
– Assist in maintaining regulatory compliance, including Ofsted standards and children’s home regulations.
– Be a role model for staff and young people, leading with empathy, integrity, and professionalism.
– Support staff performance through guidance, mentoring, and regular supervision.
– Safeguard and advocate for young people at all times.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

– Experience working in children’s residential care, particularly with young people who have EBD.
– Strong leadership abilities and excellent communication skills.
– NVQ Level 3 in Residential Childcare (or equivalent); Level 4 or 5 is highly desirable or a willingness to undertake.
