Last year, we helped more than 670,000 children and families across the UK. From direct work in communities to national campaigning, we are focused on making sure every child has a safe and happy childhood, and the foundations they need to thrive.
Why Action for Children?
Working here is more than a job. Everyone in the Action for Children family is passionate about protecting and supporting children. It's the sense of purpose that drives us every single day. Because we know that, when we work together, we can make a huge difference to bring lasting improvements to vulnerable children's lives.
A bit about the role
We have an exciting opportunity for a Registered Manager, or an ambitious Deputy Manager/Team Leader ready to take the next step in their career, to join our established Rossorry Grove Supported Accommodation in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland which offers supported accommodation for 13 young people.
This is a fantastic opportunity to lead a dedicated and experienced team, providing stability, strong leadership and high-quality care for young people with complex emotional and behavioural needs.
You'll be responsible for the day-to-day management of the supported accommodation, ensuring it continues to provide a safe, nurturing, and environment where children can thrive.
As Registered Manager, you'll inspire and support your team to achieve the very best outcomes for every child. You'll ensure the supported accommodation continues to meet all regulatory requirements, promotes a positive culture, and embeds best practice across every aspect of care. You will play a vital role in preparing them for their future endeavours.
