Are you looking to be a part of something special, where children can feel at home, supported, and encouraged to grow and flourish every day?

Imagine having the opportunity to establish and register your own children’s home, building and leading a dedicated team from the ground up - you could make this happen with us!

Phoenix Learning and Care is expanding, and we’re opening new children’s homes in South Gloucestershire to support children with social and emotional needs related to Autism, ADHD, and Trauma. To make this happen, we need experienced Residential Leaders who will be at the forefront of our mission. You’ll play a vital role in the growth of your own home, recruiting members to join your team who will provide the best possible care and support for the children of South Gloucestershire every day.

At Phoenix Learning & Care, we ensure that the children we support experience as many positive opportunities as possible—just like other children. But we can’t do this without our Residential Managers and support team.

As the Registered Manager of our small three-bedroom home based in South Gloucestershire, you’ll really get to know the team and the children. Your leadership will play a key part in the development of the team, the support the children receive, and the success of your home.

A day in the life of a Registered Manager will involve :

• Managing recruitment, team supervisions, meetings, and inspections. You’ll spend a good amount of time making sure the team you manage have the skills, experience and training they need to be the best support possible for the child in your care.
• Supporting children to have the best quality of life possible. Working with the team to arrange and plan activities, whether it be baking at home, fun days out, or holidays with them.
• Ensuring our children are kept safe and their plans suit their needs. You’ll work with multidisciplinary teams to ensure the children we look after have the right support and care plans in place.

To be a successful Registered Manager, you’ll need :

• Patience, compassion, and resilience – The children you’ll support may have experienced trauma, which may have an impact on their behaviour.
• Great communication skills – Both verbal and written communication is important in this role as you’ll be speaking to a lot of different people at different times and need to be able to update the children’s plans.
• A driving licence – Our children love to be out in the community. We need you to be able to drive them to where they need to go. We have the cars you just need the licence.
• To be flexible – Our Registered Managers play a key role in keeping our homes running day to day and are required to undertake a variety of tasks including undertaking of health, safety and risk assessments, budget management, and willingness to contribute to the on-call rota.
• Ideally, you’ll hold your level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management.

In return for your time, you’ll get :

• Holidays – You’ll get 33 days annual leave, inclusive of bank holidays. You’ll also get an extra day off for your birthday after your first year with us.
• Pension scheme – Our pension scheme is based on you paying in 5%, and us adding 3%.
• Learning & Development Opportunities – We provide comprehensive learning opportunities for team members to develop themselves.
• Discounts – You’ll have access to brilliant discounts through the Blue Light Card and our own employee benefits platform.
• Wellbeing Support – Your wellbeing is always our priority. You’ll have access to mental health and wellbeing support. On top of this, our therapies team offers a monthly confidential check in clinic, and group reflective practice sessions.
• Cycle2Work -The cycle to work scheme enables you to buy a bicycle at a discounted rate.
• DBS – As this role required you to have an enhanced DBS carried out, we will cover this cost.

After 12 months service you’ll also be eligible for our Medicash scheme which covers a wide range of medical, health and wellbeing expenses (Including immediate access to a GP!). You’ll get life assurance paid at x2 your annual salary, and even more high street discounts.

In line with safer recruitment guidelines, we will run an online check on the successful candidate. This can and may include any public social media profiles.

At Phoenix Learning and Care, we pride ourselves on our diverse workforce, and ensuring we have an inclusive environment for all our team members. We remain committed to ensuring our teams can bring their true selves to work without risk or fear of discrimination.
