Summary
At Care in Mind our homes are always a hub of activity and energy where the young people can feel safe, and our staff enjoy coming to work. As a Deputy Manager your role will involve working alongside and being supported by a multi-disciplinary team including Nurses, Psychologists and Psychiatrists. You will support the Registered Manager, helping plan rota's for the staff, conducting monthly supervisions, and assisting the team with their learning and development ensuring all the relevant training and inductions are completed. At our home in Leeds, you will be working with young people who have diagnosed eating disorders, alongside a variety of mental health diagnoses. Our young people often use self-harm and compensatory behaviours as a strategy to cope with their emotions. Your role will be required to support the young people through their eating complexities, including meal support, food and fluid documentation and post meal support. You will also support and help to manage incidents of self-harm and other risk-taking behaviours. Some of our young people have physical health concerns which require close monitoring and documenting - full training for this is provided. Several our young people are preparing for independence too, to move on from the home into the community. Therefore, you will be supporting this transition through things such as: discovering different education routes, accessing public transport and appointments independently and supporting them to self-administer their own medication. Our young people are all unique and have different interests, they engage in a variety of activities including going to theme parks, pottery painting and watching theatre plays, so there will never be a dull moment when you are on shift. Main Duties: You will work shifts over a 37.5 hour working week. The shift patterns are variable depending on the needs of the service with 2 days per week office based to support the management of the home. Care hour shifts consist of Early's, Lates and occasional sleep ins & nights when required with Rota planning in advance, so flexibility is required. The job is highly rewarding and excellent opportunity for an experienced Senior Support Worker to develop their career or an existing Deputy manager who wishes to develop their skills further in mental health.
