We are excited to be recruiting a Registered Services Manager into our Senior Operations Team to lead in enabling 1625ip to successfully register and comply with new Ofsted regulations on supported accommodation for care-experienced young people.  
This is a new post offering an exciting opportunity to shape and improve services, and place 1625ip in a strong, compliant state of readiness for Ofsted regulation and inspection, as this post-holder will be responsible for ensuring compliance and upholding quality standards across all 1625ip registered settings.

Please find full details of how to apply via our website in the advert below. The deadline for application submissions is 23:59, Monday 05 June 2023.
