• 1 day per week commitment
• Up to £550 per day
• Opportunity to support the development of a brand new home
• Autonomy to influence quality, governance and service delivery
• Flexible role that can fit around existing commitments
• Work alongside an ambitious provider committed to delivering outstanding care

What We're Looking For

• Level 5 or Level 7 qualification in Leadership & Management
• Previous experience as a Responsible Individual within children's residential care
• Strong knowledge of Ofsted regulations and children's home legislation
• Experience supporting children with EBD and complex needs
• Excellent understanding of safeguarding, governance and quality assurance
• Ability to provide strategic oversight while supporting a newly established service
