The opportunity Orchestrate Health Services is an independently CQC-registered private community mental health service, rebooting from the ground up in 2026 to fill a structural gap in the UK market. It sits between weekly outpatient therapy and acute inpatient admission the level of care at which most preventable hospitalisations happen and which the UK private market does not currently serve well. The service is psychiatrist-led, MDT-delivered, and built around four named programmes: Crisis & Admission Avoidance, Post-Discharge Stabilisation, Intensive Outpatient Programme, and Re-integration & Recovery. Care is delivered virtually, in the patient's home, and through NHS Open Spaces coordinated from a service centre in Leicester, with national reach from day one. We are recruiting a Managing Director to lead OHS through its growth phase. Day-1 leadership includes a named Consultant Psychiatrist Clinical Lead and a Clinical Operations Director & CQC Registered Manager already in post. The MD runs the business on top of that foundation: strategy, commercial growth, payer and corporate relationships, team building, and the commercial-clinical interface that will define whether OHS becomes a category-defining UK service over the next 24 months. What we're looking for A rare combination. We want someone who combines sales and marketing leadership in mental health with genuine clinical understanding ideally a former mental health clinician who moved into commercial leadership, or a commercial leader whose career has been embedded in mental health services long enough that clinicians respect their judgement. This is a full-time executive role, not a portfolio or consulting arrangement. The successful candidate will need to make regular visits to Leicester, and will be hands-on at a stage where OHS needs a working MD, not a figurehead. The role will involve a need for robust action, strong leadership and most importantly a fully understanding of what we are trying to achieve What will distinguish this role • A clean strategic position. The reboot retires the previous premium-HNW, nurse-led framing and rebuilds OHS as a psychiatrist-led community service with programme-based, outcomes-evidenced propositions for payers, ICBs, and corporates alongside self-pay. The strategy is documented, defensible, and ready to execute., • A known Clinical Lead in post on day 1. The binding constraint on most mental health launches credible consultant psychiatric leadership is already solved., • A distinctive operating model. No regional clinic estate. No luxury-residential association. A Leicester operational team, a sessional MDT panel, and delivery via virtual, in-home, and NHS Open Spaces., • US reference points that translate. The model draws on what other organisations have proven about structured, productised, outcomes-evidenced community mental health care adapted to the UK regulatory and payer landscape., • A business built to be commissioned. The outcomes framework is designed from day one to produce the evidence payers, Insurers, ICBs, and corporate clients actually want to see. Compensation and structure Competitive base salary commensurate with the seniority of the role and the sector. A performance element linked to the growth milestones OHS is building toward. Equity or revenue-share participation in the growth of the business. Full details discussed with shortlisted candidates.

DAY CARE CENTRE MANAGER | LEICESTER | UP TO £30,000 | MONDAY-FRIDAY ONLY There's a particular kind of care professional who reads "Monday to Friday, no weekends, no on-call" and thinks: that sounds too good to be true. It isn't. This is a Day Care Centre Manager role with a well-established, family-feel care group that has been looking after people in Leicester for over 20 years. Eleven care homes and growing. A strong Head Office and Quality team. An Operations Director, Clinical Governance Director and hands-on Directors who actually show up. The Day Centre sits alongside one of their residential homes, a genuinely distinctive setup.

And this isn't just a pleasant holding facility. The group has been actively investing in this Day Centre, it's becoming a proper community hub, with ambitions to grow into structured therapeutic programming, well-being activities and meaningful community partnerships. The right person won't just manage it. They'll help shape what it becomes. What you'll need: You don't need a Registered Manager background for this one, although it would be useful. This role could suit a few different profiles: A Senior Carer or Team Leader with NVQ Level 3, ready to step up into management A Deputy Manager whose home life needs a schedule that works with you, not against you A Registered Manager who loves the care part but could happily live without the CQC registration and the 3am phone callsDementia care experience is important.

DEPUTY MANAGER | RESIDENTIAL & DEMENTIA CARE | LEICESTERSHIRE | UP TO £35,000 Being a Deputy Manager in care isn't easy. You're the calm in the chaos, the one your team leans on, your manager relies on, and residents and families trust without question. But the right home makes all the difference. And this one has something most can't offer. The Manager here has just been named Manager of the Year within the group. That tells you everything about the culture, the standards, and the kind of leadership you'd be working alongside. This is a residential and dementia care home set in a village location just outside Leicester, the kind of place that feels genuinely homely rather than institutional, with a real community feel and a team that takes pride in what they do. Spacious en-suite rooms, accessible gardens, a full activities programme, and a minibus that gets residents out and about regularly. The home is rated Good by CQC and the leadership team believe , with good reason, that Outstanding is within reach. You'll be stepping into a role with real substance: supporting the day-to-day running of the home, leading and developing the team, and helping push a service that's already performing well toward something even better. Behind you, you'll have the full weight of a well-established, family-run care group, 20+ years in the sector, an experienced Operations Director, Clinical Governance Director, a Quality and Compliance team, and Directors who are genuinely hands-on. What we're looking for: An experienced Deputy Manager or strong Senior/Team Leader ready to step up, with a solid background in residential or dementia care and the leadership maturity to make an immediate impact. Please note: This role is unable to offer visa sponsorship. You'll need the right to work in the UK independently. The package: Up to £35,000 (DOE) 5.6 weeks' annual leave Contributory pension Paid induction and ongoing training Real progression within a stable, growing groupInterested? Apply with your CV, it doesn't need to be perfect. Or call us at Recruitment Panda for a confidential conversation first

Home Manager - Leicester | Up to £40,000 + £10,000 + Performance Bonus Twenty years in residential care and still growing. That's not luck, that's what happens when a family-run care group genuinely gets what good care looks like. The home you'd be stepping into has fewer than 30 beds, a current CQC rating of Good across all domains, and a waiting list. Residents, staff and families are overwhelmingly local, the kind of place where people actually know each other. It matters. You'd have real support around you: an experienced Quality team, an Operations Director and Directors who remain actively hands-on. The group is in a period of measured growth, with the portfolio set to expand. If you've got ambitions beyond this home, there's a path. To be considered: You'll have had previous care home management experience, with a demonstrable track record through CQC inspection. An NVQ Level 5 in Leadership and Management is preferred, though strong candidates working towards it will be considered. The package: Up to £40,000 basic salary, with a £10,000+ performance bonus on top. That's a serious number and it reflects what this group expects and rewards. If you're ready to take on a settled, well-regarded home and drive it towards Outstanding, this is worth a conversation. Apply with your CV, even if it needs updating, or get in touch directly for a confidential discussion
