Our students are supported within a nurturing environment that encourages them to accept themselves, tolerate others, build confidence, and experience success. Staff are recruited based on their vitality and enthusiasm, as well as for the qualifications and experience.
As a registered manager you will be level 5 qualified with experience in ASD and managing change. You will be responsible for delivering, in line with the statement of purpose, high quality care that remains fully compliant with the Children’s Homes (England) Regulations 2015 and associated legislation, statutory guidance and inspection frameworks. Ideally, you will have a working knowledge of residential special schools, and working in a larger environment.
We are a unique and complex business and you will need to balance a hands-on, practical approach with a creative and innovative style and the ability to respond with positivity and a ‘can do’ mindset.

Cambian will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates. This check will be part of a safeguarding check and the search will be purely based on whether an individual is suitable to work with children. As care must be taken to avoid unconscious bias and any risk of discrimination a person who will not be on the appointment panel will conduct the search and will only share information if and when findings are relevant and of concern.
