Are you already a Deputy Children's Home Manager or a Senior looking for your next move?

Our home is a very nurturing, warm and caring environment, supporting up to 6 vulnerable young people to come to terms with their past and preparing them for their future.

As a Deputy Manager, you will be an integral part of our welcoming and knowledgeable leadership team, being part of a region of children's homes, with the backing of a growing, national organisation, where you will be actively encouraged to be creative and bring your own unique skills and have the opportunity to influence change.

You will be supported to gain level 5 qualifications, to grow and develop into future leaders and to take on additional responsibilities which will give you the confidence to step up to manage the home when needed.

We want every member of our team to feel supported to be the best versions of themselves—when our people thrive, so do the children in our care. As a Deputy Manager you will be at the heart of everything we do.

We have also developed our own therapeutic model of care called Keys Connect. As a member of the region's leadership team, you'll play an active role in shaping and evolving this approach.
