Frequently Asked Questions
How do I become a Deputy Manager?
Simply send your application through to us and we’ll take care of the rest. Make sure you include any past experience and let us know why you’d make an excellent Deputy Manager.
What is covered in the induction training?
If you are successful in your application, a 2-week induction process will take place with the Senior Leadership Team. This will be comprised of eLearning courses, day-to-day running of the home and shadowing staff members.
What does career progression look like as a Waking Nights Support Worker?
We want to help you hit your career goals and smash milestones; this is why we will happily put you through an apprenticeship to gain extra qualifications that’ll support you in this profession. We are also big advocates of promoting from within, so if a more senior role opens up, you would be considered for it before we hire externally.
Will I need to undergo a DBS check?
Yes, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All successful applicants will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check with Barred List.
What would my weekly working hours be?
Our Children’s Homes and Supported Accommodations are located in Berkshire, so you will be required to reliably commute to designated locations. The Deputy Manager is a full time position, so your working hours be 40 hours a week on a rota shift.
What areas of support would I be focusing on?
Resilience and passion are key for this role. Here at Storyy Group, we have a ‘do with’ rather than ‘do for’ ethos. You will be helping our young people work towards independent living, by teaching them essential life skills and working towards specific goals and aspirations. We believe we walk alongside our young people, learning from them in tow. Support will come in many forms, including arranging and attending GP and other health appointments, taking part in activities within the local community and reengaging with education, finding employment and accessing benefits. You will also be there to provide mental health support, overcome situations that may include challenging behaviour, substance misuse and self-harm. Many of our young people have come from traumatic backgrounds, but using a ‘Trauma Informed Practice’, you will help guide them on a better, brighter, more successful pathway.
