SalaryAbout us
KPMS has been operating children and young people’s services since 2006, focusing on supporting our residents in recovering from adverse childhood experiences to lead independent and safe lives. We specialise in risk management for young people with complex needs. We believe that children have a better chance of success when they have the skills and resources to navigate the next stages of their lives. Joseph House aims to offer innovative, high-quality residential care to children and young people in a nurturing, understanding and safe environment.
We are looking for a skilled and committed Registered Manager to join our team at our new children’s home ‘Joseph House’ in Camden. We will start a full training programme in May, ready for our grand opening on 7th June! You will have the unusual opportunity to be part of the founding team that shapes the future of the home. This innovative service has been fully refurbished to a high standard and is focused on delivering collaborative, psychologically informed care to children and young people.
