Job Introduction
We're looking for a Team Leader to spearhead our Residential Support Workers at Lansdowne Secure Children's home.

Lansdowne is a secure children's home run by East Sussex County Council which houses some of the most vulnerable young people aged between 10 to 17 from across the UK.

With a fantastic skilled team, plus a state-of-the-art nurturing environment the residents are offered all-round support.

Each young person has a bespoke care plan to ensure support and agreed areas of work to meet their education and health needs.


You'll be a visible leader who brings a presence to the home, planning residential support worker's shifts, leading shifts on a day to day basis, ensuring that the children are kept engaged and that their emotional and physical wellbeing is being cared for.

This is a challenging role as it involves you taking the lead in a constructive and proactive way to address the problematic behaviour presented by the children, so requires resilience and self-awareness.

As team leader you'll be organised, self-motivated and have excellent communication skills.

Due to the unique nature of this role, you'll also ideally have experience working with challenging young people, understanding their complex needs and behaviours.

Interviews will take place face to face week commencing 13th May.


East Sussex County Council are dedicated to giving our staff the opportunity to train and develop and we offer an extensive training library and actively encourage this opportunity to all our staff.

We offer a diverse range of benefits to help and support you during your employment. More information can be found on our benefits page.
