* To deal with complex issues effectively in order to develop a responsive and effective service for users, delivered within designated budgets.
* To develop specialist knowledge in the field for which the post carries management responsibility, acting as a resource and source of excellence to both peers and more senior colleagues.
* Embedding, training, and implementing the chosen therapeutic practice model approach into every aspect of the homes' management.
* Work closely with the other Corporate Parenting teams to develop and maintain the best possible placement options to keep children and young people safe, happy and close to Wokingham where possible.
* To ensure staff are well supported and safer recruitment is in place.

Candidate requirements:
* Professional qualification in (recognised and current) Level 5 Leadership and Management in Residential Childcare, or equivalent
