Skills, knowledge and attributes

Please take your time and really think about the reasons you are applying for this role. We want to see what makes you different from everybody else and how your skills and experience can benefit the lives of our young people, the team, and the organisation as a whole. Please include details that support your ability to meet the essential requirements for this post as per job description.
Q1 – Leadership and Management in a Challenging Environment: Can you describe a situation where you had to lead a team through a challenging period, such as a significant change in policy or a crisis situation? How did you ensure that your leadership maintained high standards of care and compliance with the Social Care Common Inspection Framework (SCCIF)?*
Q2 – Safeguarding and Child-Centred Practice: Safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do. Please describe your approach to safeguarding within a children’s home setting. How do you ensure young people feel safe, listened to, and supported, while ensuring the team consistently meets statutory requirements and follows best practice? *
Q3 – Upholding and Enhancing Quality Standards: Quality assurance is crucial in our homes. Please provide an example of how you have implemented or improved quality assurance processes in a care setting. How did you ensure these processes met the Children’s Homes Regulations and Quality Standards, and what impact did this have on outcomes for young people?*
Q4 – Staff Development and Supervision: A key part of the Deputy Manager role is developing a confident and competent staff team. Please give an example of how you have supported, coached, or supervised staff to improve their practice. How did you identify the need, what actions did you take, and what was the outcome?*
Q5 – Strategic Development and Action Planning: Describe a time when you identified a need for improvement or development in a previous role. How did you create and implement an action plan, and what steps did you take to monitor its effectiveness and make adjustments? How did this contribute to the overall development of the service or organisation?
Do hold a full driving license? *
Have you received any driving convictions and or penalty points in the last 3 years? *
Do you have an up to date DBS?*
DBS number:*
You can find the DBS number on the top right corner of the first page of your DBS certificate, often labeled as "Certificate Number" or "Disclosure Number". This is a 12-digit number found in the top-right corner of your DBS certificate.
Are you on the DBS update service?*
Do you have any convictions, cautions, reprimands or final warnings that are not "protected" as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offend ers Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2013)?*
If you have answered yes to the above question, we will send a Rehabilitation of Offenders form for you to complete. After you have completed this and sent back, we will review and update you of the process .The post for which you have applied is defined as exempted employment within the terms of The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2013). You are therefore required to declare any convictions, cautions, reprimands or final warnings that are not ‘protected’ as defined by the Act, whether or not they would be, in terms of the Act, classed as spent. Declaration of any convictions will not necessarily bar you from employment, as this will depend on the circumstances and background to your offence(s). All applicants who are offered employment will be subject to a criminal record check before the appointment is confirmed. See The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2013) page for details of how to check what information is required under the new legislation.
Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (as amended in 2013)
At Brinscall Care, we actively promote equality of opportunity and welcome applications from people with the right mix of talent, skills and potential – including those who may have a criminal record. All candidates are selected for interview based on their skills, qualifications and experience.

Under current legislation in England and Wales, some old and minor cautions or convictions are classed as ‘protected’and do not need to be disclosed. These will not be taken into account when making recruitment decisions. However:

Cautions and convictions for certain serious violent, sexual, or other offences relevant to safeguarding children must always be disclosed.
All convictions resulting in a custodial sentence (including suspended sentences) must always be disclosed.

If an individual has more than one conviction, none will be classed as protected.
Guidance on which offences are protected (and therefore do not need to be disclosed) can be found here:

Disclosure and barring information

What this means for you
If you are offered employment, you will be required to complete an enhanced criminal record check through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) before your appointment is confirmed. You must declare any convictions, cautions, reprimands, or final warnings that are not protected under the Act.

A criminal record will not automatically prevent you from working with us. We will consider:
- The nature of the offence(s)
- How long ago it occurred
- Its relevance to the role applied for
- Any other information you provide
Unless prohibited by law (for example, under the Protection of Children Act 1999), we will assess all information fairly.

Process

Since DBS certificates are now only sent to the applicant, we may ask you to show your copy to us so we can review any relevant information.

You will have the opportunity to discuss any details before a decision is made.
Failure to disclose any required (unfiltered) information may result in withdrawal of an offer or disciplinary action, including dismissal.

Confidentiality

Any disclosure form will only be reviewed after shortlisting.
If you are successful, the form will be stored confidentially on your personnel file.
If you are unsuccessful, the form will be securely destroyed after six months, in line with our data protection policy.

Important: It is illegal for a person barred from working with children by the DBS to apply for any position within Brinscall Care.
