About us
One to One Crisis Intervention opened in 1997 and offers homes for children and young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties from the ages of 7-18 years. We provide small homes for either one or two young people, helping us to provide intensive and individualised care. We focus on providing young people with nurture, structure, routine and consistency with a therapeutic approach to behaviour management.
We are looking to recruit an exceptional Registered Manager for our dual occupancy children's home, registered with Ofsted for young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties based in Newton Abbot. The role is 40 hours per week, worked flexibly to ensure the home is managed to a high quality.
Why work for us?
We are incredibly proud of our young people and when we see them working towards their full potential, it's the best feeling in the world! Our work is emotionally and physically demanding at times, which is why we have support in place through clinical supervision from our risk management consultant, regular team meetings and monthly one to one sessions. In addition to these, we hold regular coffee mornings, company BBQ's and breakfasts out as well as other events.
We are a small, mutually supportive organisation. The role of a Registered Manager is undoubtedly stressful at times, and we understand the need to be able to rely on support from those you work with. We have a close-knit group of Registered Manager's and a highly supportive senior management team who are present within the homes.
We provide individualised and bespoke care, priding ourselves on our homes, which look and feel like usual family homes. As a result, our staff also benefit from working in relaxed and comfortable environments.
All of our staff are provided with high quality training to ensure their practice and knowledge remains up to date. We offer every member of staff the opportunity to choose an area of expertise, where you will receive additional training and have the ability to become a 'champion' in your chosen field.
