Full job description

Job title: Team Leader – Children's Residential Home
Salary: £42,432 per year (including sleep-ins)
Job type: Full-time, permanent

Rooted Children's Homes is looking for an experienced residential support worker or senior who's ready to step up into leading a team. You'll run shifts, guide and mentor the staff around you, and still spend most of your time with the young people. That's the reason most of us got into this work in the first place.

Why Rooted?

We believe good care and good business go together. When a home has a stable, well-paid team, children get consistency, staff stay longer and less agency cover is needed. So we invest in our people:

  • Funded Level 5 Diploma in Leadership & Management for Residential Childcare
  • Structured mentoring from your Deputy and Registered Manager
  • A clear route into management through our Trainee Registered Manager programme
  • Fair pay and sensible rotas. We don't stretch the team to fill gaps.

If you want to be a Registered Manager in a few years, this role is built to get you there.

What you'll be doing

  • Leading and coordinating shifts, giving the team clear direction
  • Setting the standard for safe, child-centred practice
  • Spotting and responding to safeguarding concerns and escalating them appropriately
  • Making sure risk assessments and behaviour support plans are followed and kept up to date
  • Handling incidents calmly and confidently, in line with policy
  • Supporting, mentoring and helping to induct Residential Support Workers
  • Keeping daily logs, incident reports and handovers accurate and up to date
  • Supporting the managers with audits, quality checks and care planning

What we're looking for

Essential:

  • Experience working in a children's residential home, including direct care
  • Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or working towards it)
  • A sound understanding of safeguarding and the Children's Homes (England) Regulations 2015
  • The confidence to lead a shift, make decisions and stay calm under pressure
  • Flexibility to work sleep-ins, weekends and bank holidays

Desirable:

  • Experience supervising or mentoring colleagues, formally or informally
  • Units towards a Level 4 or Level 5
  • Experience of Ofsted inspections or quality assurance

The essentials

  • Reports to: Deputy Manager / Registered Manager
  • Enhanced DBS required
  • Full UK driving licence preferred

If you're a strong RSW or senior who's ready for more responsibility and wants a proper route into management, apply today. We'd like to hear from you.

Rooted Children's Homes is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All appointments are subject to safer recruitment checks, including an enhanced DBS and satisfactory references.

Pay: £42,432.00 per year

Work Location: In person
