• A genuine passion for improving outcomes for children and young people
• Ideally, you will be based locally to Crewe or within a reasonable commuting distance

• What's on Offer?

• £50,000 – £65,000 salary, dependent on experience and previous Ofsted ratings
• Potential to earn £80,000+ through bonuses
• Opportunity to lead a brand-new, fully refurbished 3-bed children's home
• Genuine autonomy to shape the service from the beginning
