Are you a compassionate leader with a deep understanding of trauma and attachment?
Do you believe that connection comes before correction—and that relationships change lives?
We’re looking for a Deputy Manager to join our therapeutic children’s home: a place where healing happens through safety, structure, and love. You’ll support a team who are passionate about holding space for children who have experienced significant trauma—and you’ll help shape a home that’s rooted in trust, nurture, and therapeutic care.
What You’ll Do
Be a consistent and emotionally available adult for children who need to feel safe and seen.
Support the Registered Manager in leading and inspiring a trauma-informed care team.
Role model therapeutic parenting in daily practice.
Hold reflective supervision sessions that support emotional regulation and growth.
Contribute to care planning, safeguarding, and multi-agency work with warmth and professionalism.
Step into leadership during times of crisis or absence with confidence and compassion.
What You’ll Bring
Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent)
Experience in a residential or therapeutic setting with children facing complex trauma
Emotional resilience, reflective leadership, and excellent communication skills
A commitment to attachment-aware and trauma-informed practice
Desire to work towards Level 5 in Leadership & Management (if not already held)
What We Offer
A values-led, therapeutic culture that puts children first
Clinical supervision and regular reflective practice
Ongoing training and career progression
A genuinely supportive team who lead with empathy and hold each other up
The chance to make a lasting difference in the life of a child
If you believe every child deserves to feel safe and wanted—and you’re ready to help make that a reality—we want to hear from you.
