You'll champion trauma-informed care, nurturing emotional resilience, and planning engaging activities that support young people's growth and community inclusion.
- Unwavering Safeguarding: Acting as the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), ensuring robust safeguarding practices, maintaining Ofsted compliance, and fostering a culture where safeguarding is paramount.
- Team Empowerment: Recruiting, training, supervising, and developing a skilled and compassionate team. You'll conduct regular supervisions and appraisals, driving continuous improvement within the staff.
- Collaborative Working: Building strong relationships with external stakeholders, advocating fiercely for the needs and rights of the children in your care.
- Operational Excellence: Managing the home's budget, resources, and staffing efficiently, ensuring meticulous record-keeping, data protection compliance, and reporting on performance.
