Children's Residential Deputy Manager

Location: Lancaster

We are currently recruiting…

We’re pleased to announce the introduction of new Deputy Manager roles within Lancashire County Council’s Residential Children’s Services, as part of our “Where Our Children Live” programme.

This initiative is focused on creating safe, supportive homes for Lancashire children and forms a key part of our wider strategy to modernise and expand residential childcare across the county. These roles present an excellent opportunity for experienced Assistant Managers who are ready to take the next step in their careers.

Deputy Managers will work core hours (Monday to Friday, between 7am and 7pm), providing leadership, supervision and guidance to teams of Senior Residential Childcare Workers and Residential Childcare Workers. Posts are available in a variety of settings across Lancashire, including small children’s homes, a specialist home for children with complex mental health needs, and innovative hubs that offer intensive support to help prevent children from entering care.

This is a key leadership position, working closely with the Home Manager to ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the home. The role involves a balance of operational and direct care responsibilities, including overseeing individual care plans, monitoring health and educational outcomes, and maintaining strong working relationships with external professionals. Attendance at reviews and multi-agency meetings is expected, as is contributing to wider service projects, initiatives and staff development.

Deputy Managers are also expected to work collaboratively as part of the broader management team across Children’s Residential Services, taking a lead on key areas of development and supporting the ongoing training and growth of the workforce. At the heart of this role is a commitment to our vision: that children, young people and their families are safe, healthy and able to achieve their full potential. This vision is underpinned by five key outcomes: that vulnerable children are safe from harm and resilient; that they achieve in education and employment; that they lead healthy lifestyles and support others; that they have a voice in shaping their support; and that they live in a Lancashire where they enjoy a good quality of life and want to stay.

What we are looking for…

  • A passion for working with children and a commitment to their well-being.
  • A QCF 4 or NVQ 3 or 4 Leadership & Management in Health & Social Care or equivalent
  • Minimum of 3 years' experience working within Residential Children and Young People's Services or equivalent
  • Driving license and access to a vehicle – this is an essential car user post

Why join us…

  • Generous annual leave allocation, 25 days (rising to 32 days after five years' service) plus eight days bank holidays and two extra statutory days
  • Comprehensive Local Government Pension Scheme
  • Flexible Working arrangements
  • Health and Wellbeing Initiatives including wellness programs and other services including Occupational Health Services, Cycle to work scheme, Eyesight test contribution and our Employee Assistance Programme
  • Generous annual leave, maternity, paternity, and adoption leave policies.
  • Access to various discounts (e.g. Viv Up) on products and services, including local businesses, national retailers, and car purchase schemes.
  • Free parking and all meals/drinks included when on shift
  • Stable experienced management team and dedicated Head of Service
  • Extensive training programme, including funded apprenticeships up to degree level

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
