Are you passionate about transforming the lives of the most vulnerable children?

Do you want to be part of our new secure school, the first of its kind?

Can you see yourself playing a key role in a team that has a positive impact on the lives of those at our secure school?

We are offering an exciting opportunity for someone with experience appropriate to the role to join the team at Oasis Restore, the first secure school in England. Oasis Restore represents a revolution in youth justice: an opportunity for children within the criminal justice system to live and learn in a restorative environment that creates the potential for them to thrive in the future.

The school can accommodate up to 49 boys and girls across 12 student-style flats and offers an intensively aspirational and therapeutic environment for children remanded or sentenced within the criminal justice system. It is dual registered as a 16-19 Academy and Secure Children's Home.

The role and what we are looking for?

Your role as Deployment Manger is crucial to the every-day running of Restore's Residential team. You will play a significant role in planning the deployment of staff who provide care to our students and lead on forecasting staff numbers, to ensure safe staffing levels are adhered too. You will be a key member of the team, dedicated to proving the concept and practice of a secure school as part of a revolution in youth justice.

The Deployment Manager works closely with the Leadership Team who are accountable for the school's outcomes and standards. Working alongside a team of specialists within education, care, and health, you will lead on aspects of staffing planning and analysis.
