About the Role
ChildVision is appointing a Community Living Manager to lead its residential and respite services for children and young people based on a Sunday to Friday service delivery model. These are HIQA-registered designated centres for children with visual impairment, many of whom have additional needs. The children who live here are among the most vulnerable in the country, and the standard of care they receive is the measure of the organisation.
The Manager holds day-to-day operational, quality and regulatory responsibility for these services. The role leads the Persons in Charge (PIC) and their teams, ensures each centre is safe, compliant and inspection-ready at all times, and gives the Senior Management Team confident oversight of the residential side of the organisation.
This is a hands-on leadership role for an experienced Social Care Professional or Nursing manager who has operated in and understands regulated residential care from the inside and has the passion and desire to take on a service with a genuine national purpose.
