We are particularly interested in candidates who are passionate about embedding a therapeutic and trauma-informed approach in their practice, creating safe, stable, and nurturing environments where children can thrive.

We welcome applications from experienced Assistant Managers in residential children’s homes who are ready to progress, as well as established Registered Managers with a strong interest in developing therapeutic care.

As part of a Local Authority service, you will work within a well-connected professional network, building strong relationships with key practitioners supporting the children in our care.

Previous experience in a residential children’s setting.
