Residential Deputy Manager – Liskeard – Internal Only
Internal opportunity as a Deputy Manager role within our Children’s Home and continue making a lasting difference to children’s lives every day.
Home: Tremarr, Liskeard, Cornwall. Our children have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and a range of developmental trauma. In this role you’ll support the Registered Manager with the day-to-day running of the home and help develop and coach the team.
Using our Attachment and Trauma Informed Care (ATIC) model, you will help lead a culture where children are respected, heard and involved in their own lives. You’ll bring strong therapeutic parenting practice and a commitment to achieving outstanding outcomes.
Our children have often experienced inconsistency from the adults around them. We’re therefore looking for a committed Deputy Manager who can provide stability, set clear expectations and model high-quality practice. If you’re ready for your next step within Five Rivers, this is your chance to build on what you already do well—relationship-based care, curiosity, empathy and leadership on shift.

- At least 2 years’ experience in a leadership role within a Children’s Residential Setting
- Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent)
- Willingness to work towards Level 5 Leadership & Management if not already achieved
- A proven track record with Ofsted, and strong understanding of the legislative framework and SCCIF
- Confident coaching others, leading shifts and maintaining high standards of care and safeguarding
Driving licence:
Due to the location of the home, a full driving licence is essential.
Sleep‑ins:
The role includes overnight stays in the home. You will typically complete 2–3 sleep‑ins per week. You will receive an additional £50 per sleep‑in (eight per month is equivalent to £4,800 per annum).
Hours:
On average, 39 hours per week on a rota basis. Some flexibility is needed to ensure the smooth running of the home.
Role split:
Approximately 80% of your time will be on rota and 20% will be protected for administrative/leadership duties.
