Job Description:

What is the job role?

We are looking for a new social worker to take on the role of assessing connected persons foster carers. Our connected persons team is a key focus of our family-valued approach, believing that children are best cared for within their network if it can be done safely with support.

This post is exempted under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act; appointment will be conditional upon a satisfactory DBS check.

Who are we looking for?

The successful applicant will play a central role in increasing the proportion of children in care living with their extended family or friends. The candidate will benefit from joining a team committed to providing high-quality support to connected persons carers and special guardians.

We encourage applicants from men and minority ethnic backgrounds, as they are under-represented in our fostering team, in line with the Equality Act. All protected characteristics are welcome to apply.

For an informal discussion about the role, please contact us.

• Currently in care or previously in care
