_Chief Executive and Three Deputy Managers_

RPFI is a charity about to expand its provision of residential 
therapeutic care in the field of mental health and learning 
difficulties. It currently has three homes with capacity for circa 10 
residents each. These are:

    *

      Lancaster Lodge, an 11 bed unit in Richmond for adults on mental
      health recovery programmes,

    *

      Lytton House, an 8 bed unit in Putney, for adolescents with
      emotional and behavioural difficulties, and

    *

      The White House, an 8 bed unit in Twickenham for adults with
      learning difficulties


RPFI has an important role in developing countries by offering 
consultancy training placements in its UK homes to Fellowship Homes 
created abroad as well as posting its own staff on placements overseas.

_Chief Executive_

As Chief Executive you will need to have a broad vision and 
understanding not only of responsible management but also of both the 
service provision and training aspects of our work. Experience in the 
requirements and policies of mental health and care home provision, and 
of therapeutic community principles, will inform your management and 
promotion of the organisation. You will be prepared to travel and to 
explore the needs of overseas potential providers, with particular 
reference to developing countries, where budgets are even more stringent 
than in the UK.

In your leadership of this Charity you will be creative and 
motivational, able to attend to detail whilst appreciating the broad 
picture, and to maintain good communications with staff, referral 
agencies, our partners and the Trustees of RPFI to whom you will be 
accountable. You will oversee the RPFI budget and undertake fund-raising 
and advocacy. This is an exciting opportunity for a capable, energetic 
and responsible leader to have a key role in the development of a 
creative organisation.

The salary will be commensurate with the experience and competence of 
the successful candidate. To apply please visit our employment adviser’s 
website at _www.macaulaysearch.com/jobs.php 
<http://www.macaulaysearch.com/jobs.php>_ The closing date for 
applications is noon on Monday 16^th November.

_Deputy Managers _

You will have significant experience of working within a Care Home and 
possibly within a therapeutic community, and a sound knowledge of good 
practice and inspection requirements of OFSTED/CQC. You will appreciate 
the importance of good team work and of the place of authority and 
delegation. Above all you will have the ability to create enabling 
relationships with our service users and relate well to their relatives 
and referring and other professionals. You will be able to cope with 
pressure. The minimal qualification is NVQ level 3 or equivalent, with 
commitment to work towards level 4. Salary £20,000 rising to £ 23,000 
per annum (plus £25 per sleep-in)
