The Role At TACT, we believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, connected and supported to thrive.

Working with professional curiosity and innovation, the Registered Area Manager will report directly to the Operational Director of Children's Services and be responsible for the leadership of a dedicated and passionate team of home-based staff focused on the recruitment and retention of suitable carers who can meet the diverse and complex needs of a range of vulnerable children and young people.
