Registered Manager - Children's Residential Homes

About Us

OCC was fortunate to be successful with bidding for DFE monies to develop and grow our in-house children's home provisions to enable more Oxfordshire children to remain in Oxfordshire when they become Children We Care For. As a result, we are excited to be opening 4 new children's homes in 2025 to complement our existing 3 homes. Our children's homes sit within The Residential and Edge of Care Service which works with the most vulnerable children and families, including those on the edge of care, within the Children We Care For system and those preparing for independence. The strategic aim of this service is to deliver integrated and individualised interventions to promote best outcomes for children and their families. We've got an ambitious road ahead, and we need the right talent to help us.
