With over 80 homes and schools across England, we work closely with local authorities to deliver specialist services, including therapeutic care, crisis intervention, and support for children with social, emotional, and behavioural difficulties within our childrens homes. Our mission is to provide safe, stable environments where young people can build resilience and develop skills for a brighter future. Although we are a growing organisation and continue to open new homes, our expansion has purposely seen a reduction in the total number of places we offer. We have adapted existing services and opened new homes with a strong emphasis on enhancing our therapeutic offer via smaller, bespoke, specialist services that follow an embedded therapeutic model of care.

We would expect the successful applicant to have the necessary skills to work collaboratively with our partner agencies and contract managers within the local authorities. As service manager you will be the responsible individual of these services and will collaborate closely with the Registered Managers of these homes to ensure the delivery of care to our young people is compliant with regulations, and lead Ofsted inspections.
