Why Join Us?
Are you passionate about empowering children and young people with disabilities?
The Yard offers play and short break services for children and young people with additional support needs and their families, both at our adventure play centres and through outreach in our communities. We design our services to support the whole family, building communities of support through our welcoming culture of inclusion. The Yard runs services for early years, schools, and families, holiday and youth clubs. In addition to play and family support, we offer expert training on play, inclusion, and disability.
We are looking for a Service Manager who is inspired by our ethos and is excited to bring their knowledge and experience to run our specialised Holiday Support service which is for children with complex medical needs. This service runs during school holiday periods, excluding Christmas and New Year, (Monday–Thursday) providing care for children aged 5-18 years based at Oaklands School, Edinburgh. This service is registered with the Care Inspectorate, and we are looking for an individual to assume the role of Registered Manager.
The successful candidate will be part of our management team and responsible for making decisions that impact the whole organisation. They’ll join a values-led organisation where collaboration and a child-centred approach are embedded in all we do. We are passionate, so being prepared to work at pace and manage competing priorities is essential.
