Responsible Individual

Job description

Job Overview

We are seeking a Responsible Individual to join our team in a Chidren's residential care setting. The ideal candidate will have experience in managing children's care homes and providing support to mangers and service users

Responsibilities

- Supervising daily activities within the setting

- Providing support and guidance to managers and staff in your area

- Managing and implementing care plans for young people

- Ensuring the well-being and safety of all residents in the assisted living facility

Requirements

- Strong communication skills to interact with residents, families, and healthcare professionals

- Understanding of best practices in senior care and dementia support

The Responsible Individual’s role is to supervise the management and delivery of the service and ensure that you are meeting your regulatory requirements. The Responsible Individual must have experience in children’s social care, understand effective practice in responding to the needs of looked-after children, local authority care planning duties, and how children’s homes are required to support these.

As the regulator of children’s homes, Ofsted can at any time scrutinise the fitness of a Responsible Individual, either through inspection or as a stand-alone event.

Regulation 26(7)(b) requires the Responsible Individual to have the capacity, experience and skills to supervise the management of each children’s home they are Responsible Individual for. This will include demonstrating that they have the essential skills needed to develop the leadership and management of homes within their remit such that the homes have the capacity and capability to meet the Children’s Homes Quality Standards. There is no limit to the number of homes that a person can be appointed as a Responsible Individual for, but they must be able to demonstrate that they can effectively supervise the management of each home individually, as well as all the homes overall.

Registered Individuals hold a key leadership role. They are responsible for supervising the service management and ensuring the quality of the services provided. The Children’s Home Quality Standards are clear in their intention to directly link the leadership requirements and the level of quality in a service. So, the quality of the services provided in your organisation is, in a very real sense, down to the leadership you show in your role as Registered Individual.
