About the team
This is an exciting opportunity to join us a Deputy Manager for one of our 7 children’s homes. Six Hills based in Stevenage, offers up to 5 children between the ages of 8 and 18 with complex emotional needs, a safe long-term home and a therapeutic environment in which to thrive.
As a Deputy Manager you will oversee all care practice within the home, ensuring quality standards and legislative frameworks are met. You will line manage 3 Senior Residential Workers while supporting the wider team within their roles and deputising for the Home Manager in their absence.
