• A demonstrable track record of successfully improving children's services, ideally following regulatory concerns or lower Ofsted ratings.
• Experience leading services supporting young people with complex behaviours.
• Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent).
• Level 5 Diploma in Leadership & Management for Residential Childcare (or willingness to complete if not already achieved).
• Excellent knowledge of the Children's Homes Regulations 2015, the Care Standards Act 2000 and the Guide to the Quality Standards.
