Job description
MEDICO-SOCIAL
Facility Director – Specialized Care Home (M/F)
November 18, 2025
You will be joining a recognized public interest organization committed to helping adults with complex disabilities, with a clear ambition: to develop services, empower those we support, and build more coordinated, open, and sustainable solutions. Here, the impact is tangible and daily: every decision improves a person's journey, every decision secures support, and every change in practice gives new energy to both teams and caregivers.
Under the authority of and in close collaboration with the Division Director, you will ensure the compliance, performance, and smooth running of the establishment in terms of human resources, quality, technical aspects, and budget. You will manage the activities of a facility that currently provides mainly residential care, while promoting the platform dynamic and transforming the services offered, in particular by creating an "outreach" service to respond to situations where it becomes difficult to remain at home, especially in complex cases. You will supervise and lead a multidisciplinary team with the support of three department heads, guarantee the quality of support and the continuous adaptation of responses to needs, and develop interactions with partners, caregivers, and the wider community. You will also continue to implement an already highly advanced Alternative and Augmentative Communication approach and contribute to cross-functional projects at the division level.
This is a rare opportunity because it combines full management responsibility with a transformative trajectory. The context calls for leadership that provides meaning and method: the outgoing management team has expressed its difficulties in changing practices, and the association now wishes to draw on proven experience to take a step forward without upsetting the balance. You are arriving at a pivotal moment, with the Division Director ensuring a smooth transition and a mandate that puts you at the center of the action: driving change, uniting, stabilizing, and growing.
The ideal candidate will be an experienced director in the medical-social sector, comfortable with overall responsibility for an institution and with change management. A five-year higher education degree (CAFDES, Master's in medical-social management, or equivalent) is required, as is a solid knowledge of the disability sector and the mechanisms involved in transforming services; knowledge of complex disabilities, particularly multiple disabilities or motor impairments, is an asset. You combine high standards with interpersonal skills, the ability to arbitrate and get people on board, managerial presence and a sense of dialogue, with a strong belief in the quality of life of both the people you support and the professionals. You also know how to take a clear-eyed view of the realities on the ground, including high absenteeism and recruitment and retention issues, in order to develop sustainable and motivating responses.
If this sounds like you, you will earn a position where you don't just "run" a business, but where you open up a platform, transform an offering, and shape a culture. You will find real freedom, high-level contacts, spaces for collective intelligence, and the opportunity to leave your mark: on people's careers, on team dynamics, on the quality of practices. A full-time permanent contract is offered, with on-call duty (one week in four), under the terms of CCN 66.
Position based in Champs-sur-Marne (77).
