As a Social Worker you have the chance to make a real difference in the lives of Children, Young People and Families by:
  • Recruiting, assessing and approving a diverse range of fostering families to meet the needs of waiting children
  • Matching the needs of children nationwide with the skills of appropriate foster parents
  • Ensuring all foster carers have access to excellent training, guidance and support when they require it, including managing ongoing contact with birth family
  • Working directly with fostering families promoting a trauma informed approach and helping build and maintain family relationship

Along with a Social Work qualification, you will have a passion and drive to make a positive difference to children and foster parents.

This is a home-based position with regular travel and all geographical areas within Wales (and bordering Wales) will be considered.
