That gives us the benefit of over 30 years of fostering experience and we're still going strong!

Requirements ISP Chesham is currently seeking a qualified and experienced Social Worker who is enthusiastic, committed and has an appreciation of the role and skills of foster parents. 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. Hold a Social Work England-recognised qualification in Social Work or equivalent Previous experience of children and families social work Previous experience of, or a desire to work in, a therapeutic model of childcare A comprehensive working knowledge of all relevant legislation pertaining to children's services as well as publications Full driving licence with unrestricted access to your own car Responsibilities Provide direct support to foster parents within a realistic caseload which enables a high level of supervision Provide regular supervision to allocated foster parents, enabling and monitoring their practice and ensuring their compliance with regulatory standards Work in partnership with children, young people, foster parents and other professionals, local authorities and stakeholders, enabling full participation in assessment, planning, review and decision-making relating to safeguarding and child protection The successful candidate will be required to complete an enhanced DBS check, the cost of which will be met by ISP.
