Interim Centre Manager
Interim Centre Manager
- Application Deadline 2 March
- Location Sealand
- Period 6-9 months
- Involvement Fulltime
Our client is looking for a strong and present Interim Centre Manager for their residential care facility — someone who can step clearly into the leadership role and create stability, direction, and a sense of security within the organisation.
The team consists of an engaged group of employees who have the will and motivation — but who currently lack clear frontline leadership, a shared direction, and a cohesive culture. Staff are asking for clarity around tasks and responsibilities, professional sparring, and a leader who is visible and present in their daily work. The team numbers approximately 10 people, a mix of permanent and hourly staff.
The Interim Manager will play a central role in re-establishing structure, strengthening the professional community, and building a culture characterised by security, clarity, and collaboration. The position reports to senior management and carries an important additional responsibility: to support and assist a manager returning from sick leave.
Responsibility:
- Step clearly into the leadership role and take full ownership of the organisation
- Exercise visible and present people management in daily operations
- Create structure, clear frameworks, and well-defined priorities
- Ensure clarity around roles, responsibilities, and expectations
- Rebuild culture and strengthen the shared professional foundation
- Establish regular structures for professional sparring and competency development
- Implement already-defined strategic and organisational initiatives
- Create security and stability during a period of change
- Support and facilitate a smooth return for the manager on sick leave
Profile:
We are looking for an experienced interim leader with strong relational skills and solid leadership experience. Industry background is less critical — what matters most is the ability to create followership, direction, and culture.
You are clear, calm, and structured. You thrive in an organisation where close-to-the-ground leadership is needed, and where employees are motivated and ready to pull together.
You know how to combine operational decisiveness with strategic understanding — and can make a rapid impact through visible leadership and clear priorities.
