Relatives and friends can ask to be assessed and approved as foster carers (for that child).
If the child needs to be placed straight away and there is not time for a full assessment, the relative (or other connected person) can sometimes be approved as a temporary foster carer.
You will be involved in securing plans of permanency for children and contribute to the wider offer for our cared for children.
You will be involved in multi-agency working and work closely with the cared for children's team.
You will have experience and extensive knowledge in the Fostering Minimum standards and The Fostering Regulation Services (England) 2011.
You will be a part of an exciting team and will play a wider part of offering support, supervision and training to the whole of the foster carers, alongside your own caseload.
This rewarding role will be helping to make sure our children and young people experience foster carers who are best placed to meet their care needs and with carers.
You will have the right values, and enthusiasm for relationship strengths-based social work with children and families.
