Salary £42-45k per annum
We are seeking a compassionate and dedicated registered children's care home manager to lead a fabulous team in a nurturing and child-centered environment.
About the home, the team and the children:
The Company was established in Wales in 2010 and was one of the first in the Blaenau Gwent area. The company has three properties two in Blaenau Gwent one in Powys all of which are owned. Potentially the current number of children that could be accommodated is 15 across the three homes. Occupancy is based on matching and not on filling beds to give a safe environment for children to develop and thrive. Last inspections there were no non-compliances at any home.
The Company has two proprietors who have a long history in social work of 50 years in both Local Government and the private sector. The combined knowledge and experience of them provides a foundation for support to staff and managers. There is an emphasis on developing staff through a blended approach to training. This combines doing a swot analysis - face to face - inhouse and external, mentoring, meeting a multitude of needs from compliance to developing individual skills , to enhancing a knowledge base in order to improve outcomes for the children that are placed with them.
