Service Manager

About the role: For a young person arriving somewhere new, often after instability, trauma or significant change, the quality of the service around them can shape what comes next. As Service Manager at Cecil House, you''ll lead a service where safety, consistency and ambition for every young person really matter. Cecil House is a 21-bed, Ofsted-registered high-support service in the heart of Camden and forms part of the wider Camden Young People''s Assessment Centre. Supporting young people aged 16+, you''ll empower young people including unaccompanied asylum-seeking young people, looked-after young people and those involved with youth offending services. You''ll lead a team including a Team Manager, Young Persons Workers and a Youth Opportunities Coordinator, creating the culture, structure and support they need to deliver consistently strong, personalised and trauma-informed practice. You''ll hold overall responsibility for the safe, effective and high-quality running of the service, with confident oversight of safeguarding, risk, housing management, staffing, performance, quality and day-to-day operations. You''ll make sure young people receive purposeful support from the point they arrive, helping them build stability, develop independence and move towards positive longer-term pathways. As an Ofsted-registered service, you''ll also keep quality and regulatory expectations firmly embedded in everyday practice rather than treating inspection readiness as a one-off exercise. ..... full job details .....
