Huge Small Victories

As a Deputy Team Leader, you’ll make sure our young people get the best from us. It’s a worthwhile role that comes with great rewards. You will work directly with our young people and assist the Care Manager in promoting outstanding child care practice within the school.

Get our what you put in

You will play a significant role in supervision of Key Workers, encouraging their effective evaluation, monitoring, planning and evaluating for each young person. You will ensure that full and complete casework records for young people are maintained and that sound decisions are made and carried out when attending case conferences, reviews and planning meetings. In the absence of the Team Leader you will be responsible for all residential admin and childcare functions and take responsibility for the school on specific evenings and weekends as per rota with sleep in duties when required.

To be considered, you’ll need experience in residential childcare and ideally an Level 3 Diploma for Residential Childcare (England) or an equivalent, plus the ability to build strong relationships: with children and parents. Resilience and understanding will play a big part in your success. You must also have a full UK driving licence.

One of the best environments in SEND

Oversands School is an independent, specialist residential and day school in rural Cumbria, providing high quality education for girls and boys aged 8 to 19. The school meets the needs of a diverse group of pupils with challenging behaviours, alongside a range of other associated conditions which can hinder academic progress.

For children and young people with complex, challenging needs, the level of care and education must go above and beyond. That’s what drives us, here at Witherslack Group. With our high staff-to-child ratio and in-house clinical teams, our schools have a reputation for excellence. Through our inspirational homes, schools and ethos, we’ve achieved the highest possible outcomes. In short, we’re enhancing life opportunities.

What we do for you
Our salary and benefits package is among the best in our sector. It includes a competitive salary, contributory pension, Life Insurance based on two times your annual base salary, comprehensive induction and ongoing training, and full school holidays. We also offer extensive Group staff benefits, such as a Medicash Health Plan/Employee Assistance and Cycle to Work Scheme. Witherslack conducts DBS Enhanced checks and covers the costs for all new employees.
