Harmeny Education Trust is a charitable organisation providing therapeutic care and education to children who have experienced early years trauma through abuse, neglect and family disruption, referred from all over Scotland. We currently work with children and young people aged 5-18, both on a day and all-year-round residential basis.

Our core service, Harmeny School, comprises:

· An education service, which includes an outdoor learning team.

· A care service, with five residential cottages and one day service cottage.

· Support services, made up of a therapies manager coordinating evidence-informed approaches for children and young people, finance, estates, catering and domestic services, fundraising, IT, HR, learning and development, and admin teams.

Harmeny is committed to achieving the highest possible standards of care and education and to continuously improving our work. We have recently developed a practice framework, The Harmeny Way, which describes the unique combination of therapeutic approaches used to guide our work and ensure consistent practice with children and young people placed with us.

We are currently seeking a Nights Manager to join our Care Nights Team on a permanent, part-time (0.71 FTE) basis. They will be a member of the care management team, which operates all year round. Responsibilities include quality assurance, annual leave management, rota planning, learning and development, HR aspects and support for night staff.

The post holder will contribute to the creation of a culture and ethos in which the needs of the children are paramount and provide them with security, safety, care and social development to enable them to reach their potential. The post holder will meet these needs during the night on a bespoke rota pattern that meets the needs of the service.

The post-holder will work approximately 120 hours per month and a bespoke rota will be agreed with Service Manager in advance. In each month the successful candidate is likely to work the following shifts:

10 x 10-hour night shifts
2 x 7-hour shifts (day, evening or night)
1 x 6-hour shift (day, evening or night)

The salary for the post is £27,376 per annum, with an allowance for working nights ranging from £3,639.88 to £4,380.19 per annum depending on the number of night shifts worked (this is calculated based on a full-time equivalent salary of £38,558 per annum).

The post-holder must have a minimum of HNC and SVQ (SCQF level 9) qualifications in line with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) registration requirements for residential child care workers (RCCWs) with supervisory responsibilities. A driving licence allowing the use of our vehicles is also essential.

The successful applicant will be required to join the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and register with the SSSC.

Harmeny is a values-led organisation and a good fit with our ethos is as important to us as having relevant experience.
