Do you want to have the opportunity to be part of the solution for children not drifting in residential care, and support a move into family-based placements?
Sanctuary Personnel are looking for a Registered Manager to join an experienced residential team to provide assessment and therapeutic parenting in Lancashire.
Our vision is to enable brighter futures for all vulnerable children and families we support. The overarching priority will be to support the young person (10 to 16yrs) in building resilience for them to achieve permanence within a foster placement; home with parents; placement with family; or by supporting them to build their independence, resulting in self-sufficiency.
This is a permanent contract with a salary of up to £50,000 per annum depending on experience and qualifications. The successful Registered Manager will receive a holiday allowance of 28 days per year excluding Bank Holidays.
Due to the nature of the position, you must be flexible to meet urgent work needs as they arise. This will inevitably entail some work outside normal office hours.
You will be given comprehensive mentoring, support and a thorough induction as well as ongoing training and development.
