We are offering a uniquely exciting opportunity for a person with experience of children's residential care, social work or youth justice who is ready for a post in the team responsible for managing the care of the children and staff teams within Oasis Restore, the first secure school in England. Oasis Restore represents a revolution in youth justice: an opportunity for children within the criminal justice system to live and learn in a restorative environment that creates the potential for them to thrive in the future. Our team of Deputy House Managers, working under the House Managers and wider Residential Leadership Team, will be dynamic, resilient, caring and skilled, able to organise, motivate and provide emotional containment to a large group of residential staff and to facilitate and participate fully in the life of the school, modelling excellent practice. The school can accommodate up to 49 boys and girls across 12 student-style flats, and offers an intensively aspirational and therapeutic environment for children remanded or sentenced within the criminal justice system. It is dual registered as a 16-19 Academy and Secure Children's Home. The Deputy House Managers, working under a robust multi-disciplinary leadership team, provide the backbone of the residential care system around the children. These are key roles, providing a vital link between the leadership team and front line practice. Who we are looking for Your role as a Deputy House Manager offers a unique opportunity to be part of a comprehensive team at Oasis Restore, joining us as we continue to recruit a large team of residential staff and onboard a new cohort of students, taking up a crucial role in their care and development. It will be your role to inspire and develop staff practice, manage their activities, utilise our management information systems and provide safety, care and well-being for children while developing a sense of safety and boundaries in their work. You will be an important figure for children across the school and particularly in one of the three houses, representing a kind, decent and caring source of authority, present and involved in their daily lives. You will be someone who can work well in complex, demanding and emotive situations. You will have excellent relational skills and will be naturally curious and keen to learn about your own and others' feelings and experiences. You will be a champion of high standard of Children's social care, with demonstrable experience of developing practice that delivers to Children's Homes Quality Standards. You will be someone who can think well under pressure and who can empower and contain others in their work. You will have a powerful belief in the value of restorative work and will be able to hold your hope and compassion for the children in the face of the challenges they will bring. This role reports into the Residential Leadership team, and works closely with the wider Senior Leadership Team, alongside a team of specialists within education, care, and health. Alongside colleagues, you will manage a large team of Senior and Restore Practitioners. As a deputy house manager you will have overall responsibility for case management of the children within your flat. This will include quality assurance all documents relating to the child (including adherence to legislative, regulatory and policy requirements) and all child facing practice from the Core Team around the child. Your role will involve a significant responsibility for ensuring high quality standards of care for children and the healthy functioning of the whole school (including the home), chairing handovers, coordinating and ensuring the allocation of staff, managing the rota, holding reportees to account, providing support, presence and decision-making across the day and night, and working with staff to embed and sustain our restorative culture and achieving the very best standards as outlined in Children's Homes Regulations and Guidance. You will be a champion of therapeutic practice, placing relationships at the heart of everything you do and be responsible for ensuring excellent standards of care throughout the school. You will be someone who cares about developing others, working on organisational, team, group, family and individual levels to foster real understanding, good relationships and communication, within our culture of benign enquiry. You will have a mature, reflective approach that aligns with the Restore Framework, our model of practice, aware of the conscious and unconscious impact of this very challenging work and the value of discovering its meaning. You will be committed to finding a way through, and never giving up.
