Hear more about The James Barry-Robinson Institute, our mission, our community, and the leadership opportunity ahead.
For more than 92 years, The James Barry-Robinson Institute has been committed to improving the lives of children and their families.
As we look toward the future, we are searching for a Chief Executive Officer who can honor that foundation while helping the organization continue to evolve, strengthen its impact, and pursue new opportunities for growth.
The next CEO will work alongside our Board, leadership team, employees, partners, and community to provide strategic leadership across the organization.
After fourteen years at the helm, CEO Rob McCartney retires having transformed the 92-year-old Institute into a nationally recognized leader in behavioral healthcare and child welfare — growing The Barry Robinson Center into the nation’s only residential treatment center for military-connected youth, expanding JBRI Foster Care into a national model, and shaping a culture guided by a simple philosophy: to “Bee Kind, Bee Competent, and Bee Fun.”
Rob has never simply managed the organization — he has inspired a movement centered on compassion and excellence.
