Job Description

Are you highly organised, calm under pressure, and motivated by making a real difference in the lives of young people with learning disabilities and/or autism?
As Resource and Logistics Manager, you will play a vital role in ensuring our home and school for children with learning disabilities run smoothly and efficiently each day. You'll oversee and coordinate staff timetables across the provision, ensuring the right support is in the right place at the right time. From early morning on-call cover to planning weekly schedules, you'll respond swiftly to changes such as staff sickness or absences, maintaining safe and effective staffing levels.
Working closely with colleagues, families, and external partners, you'll ensure that every young person receives the personalised support they need. You'll take into account each learner's individual needs, risk assessments, and care plans when allocating staff, ensuring continuity, safety, and quality of care. You'll be supported with training on our in-house timetabling system to help you manage these responsibilities efficiently.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
Managing and updating staff rotas and timetables, responding to operational changes in real time.
Overseeing on-call operations, being the first point of contact from 7am on weekdays, and resolving staffing or logistical issues promptly.
Liaising with Registered managers regarding operational or timetable-related matters, ensuring excellent communication and reassurance.
Working alongside Registered Managers to maintain a homely, person-centred environment within budget.
Completing compliance checks for agency staff to ensure safety and consistency in support.
Ensuring staff are deployed in line with person-centred plans and that all practice reflects our values of respect, dignity, equality, and inclusion.
You'll promote our organisation's core values and "Great Interactions" principles at every opportunity, ensuring that each young person is supported with compassion, understanding, and professionalism. You'll play a key role in upholding safeguarding and regulatory standards, identifying and escalating any concerns to ensure the wellbeing and safety of those we support.
This is a hands-on, people-focused role that combines operational management with meaningful impact. If you have strong organisational skills, the ability to adapt to fast-changing priorities, and a genuine commitment to improving young people's lives, we'd love to hear from you.
About you
You will be confident working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly, ensuring that staffing, logistics, and communication are handled efficiently and with care.
Essential qualities and experience:
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build positive relationships with colleagues, families, and external partners.
Strong interpersonal, planning, and organisational abilities, with a keen eye for detail and accuracy.
Proficient IT skills, including confident use of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams) and virtual learning platforms.
Good understanding of budgeting, finance, and administrative processes.
Proven experience in data analysis and reporting, using information to inform planning and decision-making.
Flexible and adaptable, able to respond quickly to operational needs and changing circumstances.

Desirable attributes:
Experience in a similar resource, logistics, or operational management role within the education or charity sector.
Understanding of safeguarding principles, SEND legislation, and the regulatory requirements of OFSTED and CQC.
You will thrive in this role if you are both people-focused and systems-minded - someone who enjoys problem-solving, thrives on variety, and takes pride in maintaining high standards of care and organisation.
