Some children s homes are built around occupancy.
This one is being built around two children.
We re partnering with a community interest company supporting autistic people and their families through early intervention, crisis prevention, specialist support and environments designed around the individual.
They are now looking for a Registered Manager to lead a new children s home in Sunderland for a maximum of two children with autism, learning disabilities and behaviours of concern.
This is an opportunity for a manager who still believes that children s care should be led by need, compatibility, safety and long term outcomes, not pressure to fill beds.
Why this role is different Experienced managers are frequently approached with the same offer.
A larger home.
More responsibility.
Occupancy pressure.
Another provider talking about values while measuring success through filled beds and margins.
This opportunity offers something different.
You will be joining a purpose led community interest company whose wider work is built around improving the lives of autistic people, supporting families and creating environments in which people can feel understood and succeed.
The home will support no more than two children.
That creates the space to build support around each child, recruit the right team and make placement decisions based on compatibility rather than commercial pressure.
