Fostering & Kinship Social Worker

Get into Fostering | Good Oftsed | Flexible working encouraged | Supportive management 

We are looking for an experienced practitioner to join AfC’s Fostering & Kinship team.

The team covers the usual duties you’d expect from a Fostering team, including recruitment, assessment, training and supervision / support, duty services, supervising regulation 24 arrangements, as well as Form F,  Form C  and Special Guardianship Assessment, and ensuring families are suitably supported to help cater to the needs of vulnerable or traumatised children in their care.

Ideally you will have worked in a fostering team previously, however the council has a culture of support and development, so an understanding and exposure to fostering practices will be considered.

Windsor and Maidenhead Childrens Services is a part of Achieving for Children – an enterprise who has been chosen for one of the DofE’s ‘Partners in Practice’ who are tasked with the continuous improvement of Children’s social care across the country. As you can imagine becoming part of such an organisation comes with a certain level of investment back in the people who work there. It also comes with the added benefit of competitive salaries of up to £43,494.

If you would like to hear more about the benefits of working for such an organisation, or would like to hear the stories of those we have placed as social workers who now manage teams there, then get in touch on 07897 024978, or email your CV to Chris@leadersincare.co.uk.

As this is a statutory role, you do require a social work qualification & registration to Social Work England.
