Fox Morris Group are working to recruit a Team Leader (Children’s Home)

Salary – £34,834 to £38,223 per annum

About you

If you are passionate about delivering stable homes built on love and care deeply about supporting our most vulnerable children and young people, then you’ll be interested in helping move our residential strategy forward from concept to delivery. You will work alongside the Registered Manager to shape the development of our first two children’s homes, through registration with Ofsted, and beyond.

If you have relevant experience of working as a Residential Practitioner in a children’s home and are committed to improving outcomes for children and young people in care, Gloucestershire would like to hear from you.

 About the role

 As a Team Leader, you will be required to lead shifts, as part of a rota system, when on duty and provide support and guidance to the front-line practitioners on a day-to-day basis and through formal line management responsibilities. You will also be required to carry out sleeping-in duties, for which an additional allowance will be paid. You will work alongside senior managers to ensure risk assessments and related management plans are implemented effectively, reviewed regularly, and updated as required.

 You will play a pivotal role in ensuring the well-being of children and young people in your care by working directly with them. You will also work alongside their families, ensuring effective lines of communication. The role will also see you taking responsibilities as a keyworker and attending meetings and reviews as required.

As well as your experience of working in children’s homes, there are some things we require of you to be successfully appointed to this post:

• Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent)
• Evidence of continued professional development.
• A full driving licence and willingness to drive.
