The Permanence Team are looking to recruit a Fostering Practitioner to the Fostering Support Hub.

 

 

Fostering practitioners work alongside our Social Workers in supporting the Local Authority's Foster Carers to provide the best possible care to the children looked after by the Local Authority.  Based within the Support Hub, your role will be to assist the social workers with a variety of tasks such as health and safety assessments, support visits and work with carers and children. You would also be involved in promoting and delivering training and support groups alongside recruitment and marketing events. As such, we are looking for candidates who are energetic and have excellent interpersonal and communication skills to join our team.

 

 

The role will include an emphasis on assisting with all areas of support to foster carers and the children who live with them and to delivering an exceptional service for our carers and children. Given the diverse nature of the role and sensitive work that we do with families, suitable candidates must be adaptable in their approach and be equipped to manage the emotional demands of the role whilst maintaining a high level of professionalism.

 

 

If you have experience and skills in working with children and adults from all walks of life and are energetic and passionate about supporting positive outcomes for children and carers, we would love to hear from you!
