Assistant Manager

Exciting opportunity - Assistant Manager needed for our 2 bed children's home!

Wakefield is ambitious for children and have adopted an innovative approach throughout its residential 2 bedded model. We are now seeking to appoint a suitably skilled, qualified and motivation Assistant Manager to work alongside the Manager to continue leading our Outstanding home, to work with and support children and young people aged between 7 to 17 years of age.
You will support two children in a lovely home supported by a team of 6 colleagues. There are times when children and young people in care require additional support to manage complex trauma. Placements of a warm, supportive and have a homely feel are hard to find, and this can result in multiple placement breakdowns before a suitable placement that can contain risk and manage social and emotional needs is found. The result of this leads to young people who are most vulnerable being placed a long way from home and not always achieving the best outcomes. We provide loving homes for children to remain in Wakefield and only receive the best possible care.
This post requires an enthusiastic and self-motivated individual with good communication skills. You will need to be organised and confident in interactions with children and young people. An excellent understanding of the needs of children in care, with a clear ambition to provide outstanding services for the children we look after is required. We will provide you with excellent supervision, appraisal, on - going training and support in obtaining your management qualification awards.
Candidates will have significant experience of working in a relevant setting for children and young people, experience of preparing, implementing and reviewing care plans for children.
