We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic Full Time Senior/Supervising Social Worker to join our inspirational and friendly team to develop and promote the fostering services in the Yorks & Lincs area. The team office is based in Melton and we support a hybrid model of working with some flexibility to work from home. There is an expectation that staff travel to the regional office in Sheffield on occasion and that foster parents and children are visited within their home. About Us Set up by a former foster parent and former social worker in 1994, Foster Care Associates (FCA) is an established fostering agency which forms part of the Polaris Community - one of the UK's largest leading communities of children's service providers. The business was born out of an enthusiasm for delivering fostering services to make a positive difference to the lives of looked after children. Our first office was in the Worcestershire countryside, and that's still where our Head Office is today. We've come a long way since those early days and, over the years, FCA has built a strong reputation for excellence, and now offers a wide range of services to children and families. But our purpose remains the same; 'to make a positive and lasting difference for children, families and communities', and it's underpinned by a series of values designed to help us assist children and young people to reach their full potential. Today, we're one of the country's largest and most experienced independent fostering agencies. But just because we're large doesn't mean we're impersonal. At FCA we're one big family, and we're committed to supporting every single child and foster parent, every single minute of the day. Duties Will Include Support foster parents and their families to achieve outstanding outcomes for all children and young people in foster care. Supervise, support and monitor the continued suitability and competence of Foster parents ensuring they provide a safe, healthy, nurturing and learning environment for children/young people. Ensure that carers fully understand the fostering task, competencies to be achieved and the standards expected, including complaints and representation procedures as detailed in the FCA policies and procedures. Provide and record regular supervision to allocated foster parents in line with FCA's Operational Standards. Work in partnership in a team parenting approach to help identify any needs within the foster family e.g. respite, activities, therapy, holidays, with all members of the child's network, including contributing to all relevant meetings and any other tasks defined. Ensure each child and foster parent's records are fully compliant in respect of all key documentation. Attend meetings and/or provide reports for Commissioning Teams to address individual packages of care. Promote participation of children/young people in the development of the agency and in accessing resources and opportunities in their local community. Participate in an 'out of hours' support service on a rota basis. Undertake occasional initial home visits and Form F Assessments. You Must Have A Social Work qualification Professional registration with Social Work England or equivalent Proven ability to produce a high standard of report writing A comprehensive working knowledge of relevant legislation and child safeguarding procedures The willingness and ability to travel extensively across the Yorkshire/Humberside/Lincs area Confidence with transporting children and young people in sometimes stressful/difficult situations Full driving licence We would love to hear from you to join our amazing friendly team, so to be considered, please apply and we will be in touch. No agencies please. Foster Care Associates is an equal opportunities employer and has been awarded the disability confident employer by the jobcentre plus. The successful applicant will be subject to a DBS check at enhanced level if successful for the position. PandoLogic. Category:Social Services,

Integrated Services Programme (ISP) Supervising Social Worker - Fostering Base Location: Ashurst, Southampton Salary: Up to 39,500 per annum Contract: Full Time, Permanent Benefits 3,000 Car Allowance 30 days' annual leave, increasing to 35 days with length of service + bank holidays Company Pension Life Assurance x2 Employee Discount Scheme Medical Cash Plan About Us Set up in 1987 by a small but passionate group of foster parents, we became the UK's first independent foster care agency. That gives us the benefit of over 30 years of fostering experience and we're still going strong! The founder members recognised that looked after children - especially those who'd had very difficult starts in life - needed specialist support. So right from the beginning they put the child at the centre of their thinking and surrounded them with an integrated range of support services. In fact, that's what ISP means: Integrated Service Programme. Over time, this circle of support has increased to include a whole range of professionals that children and foster parents can tap into, whenever they need to. This includes social workers, fostering advisors, teachers and therapists, who all work with our foster parents and the children they look after, helping them understand and manage even the most challenging situations. This is what's known as a 'therapeutic approach' to fostering and it's something that we pioneered. Requirements ISP Sussex, Hampshire and Dorset is currently seeking a qualified and experienced Social Worker or Senior Social Worker who is enthusiastic, committed and has an appreciation of the role of the foster parent and their skills. We ask our Social Workers to take a collaborative approach with foster parents in order to promote meaningful and relevant supervision of placements. Experience of working with foster parents as professional colleagues and working within a multi-discipline arena is essential, as is holding a full driving licence and having unrestricted access to your own car. This is a demanding position which includes both a quality assurance role to maintain high standards and a training role to prospective and current foster parents. You will be an excellent report writer and able to work to strict deadlines.

Integrated Services Programme (ISP) Supervising Social Worker - Fostering Base Location: Ashurst, Southampton Salary: Up to 39,500 per annum Contract: Full Time, Permanent Benefits 3,000 Car Allowance 30 days' annual leave, increasing to 35 days with length of service + bank holidays Company Pension Life Assurance x2 Employee Discount Scheme Medical Cash Plan About Us Set up in 1987 by a small but passionate group of foster parents, we became the UK's first independent foster care agency. That gives us the benefit of over 30 years of fostering experience and we're still going strong! The founder members recognised that looked after children - especially those who'd had very difficult starts in life - needed specialist support. So right from the beginning they put the child at the centre of their thinking and surrounded them with an integrated range of support services. In fact, that's what ISP means: Integrated Service Programme. Over time, this circle of support has increased to include a whole range of professionals that children and foster parents can tap into, whenever they need to. This includes social workers, fostering advisors, teachers and therapists, who all work with our foster parents and the children they look after, helping them understand and manage even the most challenging situations. This is what's known as a 'therapeutic approach' to fostering and it's something that we pioneered. Requirements ISP Sussex, Hampshire and Dorset is currently seeking a qualified and experienced Social Worker or Senior Social Worker who is enthusiastic, committed and has an appreciation of the role of the foster parent and their skills. We ask our Social Workers to take a collaborative approach with foster parents in order to promote meaningful and relevant supervision of placements. Experience of working with foster parents as professional colleagues and working within a multi-discipline arena is essential, as is holding a full driving licence and having unrestricted access to your own car. This is a demanding position which includes both a quality assurance role to maintain high standards and a training role to prospective and current foster parents.
