This is a great opportunity to continue your leadership career in care, working as part of a team committed to helping children with varied and complex needs. Your work will be challenging and rewarding in equal measure and working within a setting where we maintain a strong safeguarding culture, where Children and Young People are listened to, respected, and involved in as many decisions as possible.
