• Strong knowledge of Children's Homes Regulations 2015, Quality Standards, safeguarding and Ofsted requirements.
• A proven ability to lead, motivate and retain a successful team.
• Experience opening a new children's home or working within a solo provision would be advantageous but is not essential.
