Are you ready for a new challenge? Do you thrive working with children and young people, making a real difference in their lives? If you're a dedicated and compassionate professional, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join our Contextual Safeguarding Home in Hinckley, Leicestershire as a Deputy Manager on a full-time, permanent basis.
About the Service
Barnardo's, the UK's largest children's charity, is proud to be working in partnership with Leicestershire County Council on an innovative journey to deliver a network of children's homes for the county's most vulnerable young people.
Hopes Place supports children and young people aged 8–18 who are at risk of exploitation. We focus on identifying and responding to harm and abuse occurring outside the home, while providing a safe, nurturing environment where up to three young people can build friendships, grow in confidence, and develop essential life skills.
While Hopes Place will be your base, flexibility to support other homes in the locality on occasion is essential.
Key Responsibilities
As Deputy Manager, you will play a vital role in shaping the lives of the young people in our care. Your responsibilities will include:
Building trusting, nurturing relationships that promote independence, wellbeing, and resilience.
Collaborating with parents/carers and professionals to ensure holistic support.
Leading shifts and supervising staff to maintain high standards of care.
Supporting the Registered Manager with audits and operational duties.
Contributing to the daily running of the home, including cooking and cleaning.
Maintaining accurate records and documentation.
Upholding safeguarding policies and procedures.
Ensuring a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment at all times.
What We're Looking For
To be successful in this role, you must demonstrate the following in your application:
A Level 3 qualification relevant to Residential Childcare.
A Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for Health & Social Care and Children & Young People's Services, or a willingness to work towards it.
Minimum of 2 years' experience in a Children's Residential setting and at least 1 year of supervisory and shift-leading experience.
Strong knowledge of OFSTED Regulations and Quality Standards, with the ability to support the home in achieving an “Outstanding” rating.
Experience in safeguarding, recording, and reporting to protect children and young people.
If you're passionate about creating safe, supportive spaces for young people and want to be part of a forward-thinking team, we'd love to hear from you!
For more information about this role, please contact Jade Kent jade.kent@barnardos.org.uk
When completing your application please refer to your skills knowledge and experience in relation to the Person Specification, Job Description and Additional Information document. This should be done with an understanding of the context of the service described.
