Join our passionate and friendly fostering charity as an experienced social worker!  We are recruiting for an enthusiastic, knowledgeable Supervising Social Worker (SSW) to join our charity team, working primarily from home, but with regular opportunities to meet with colleagues both regionally and agency wide.

There will be involvement in recruiting, assessing, supervising and supporting Foster Carers to support us in maintaining our quality fostering service for looked after children. The role involves recruitment of Foster Carers, travel to the homes of our Foster Carers as required (which will at times involve travelling longer distances), leading occasional projects, running and delivering training and support groups, and taking part in an ‘out of hours’ duty system (approximately 6 times a year).

To allow our social workers to provide a thorough, personal and meaningful service to our fostering families, workload is always allocated to ensure it is manageable. We are an ethically driven charity, putting the needs of our children and carers first and are looking to appoint a Supervising Social Worker who is as passionate about this as we are.
