About the Role
A growing children's residential care provider is seeking an experienced and commercially focused Head of Placements & Commissioning to oversee occupancy and referrals across multiple children's homes located in Southeast London.
This is a senior provider side role focused on building strong commissioner relationships, managing referrals, increasing occupancy, and ensuring high quality placement matching for children and young people.
