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 Services 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 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.

A rare opportunity to take full commercial ownership of a fresh produce category within a major UK grocery retail environment. Trading Manager - Fruit / Fresh Produce Yorkshire area Permanent Hybrid/onsite pattern: on-site four days per week Package: c. 55,000- 65,000 depending on experience + 5.7k cash allowance + bonus + benefits The Opportunity We're supporting a major UK grocery retailer with multiple Trading Manager vacancies across fresh fruit / produce categories. These are broad category ownership roles, covering the retail proposition, procurement strategy, supplier base, commercial performance and seasonal trading across key produce areas. You will be responsible for how your category performs commercially, how it is positioned for customers, how suppliers are selected and managed, and how seasonal movement, availability, quality, margin and price competitiveness are balanced. The core roles sit across fresh fruit categories, with scope varying by category area. One role may also include retail-side responsibility for a related seasonal grocery category, working closely with a separate specialist procurement team. This is a fast-paced, commercial role where decisions matter quickly. You will work closely with retail, procurement, supplier and grower-facing teams to keep the customer proposition and supply strategy joined up. Key Responsibilities Own the commercial performance of a fresh produce category, balancing sales, margin, availability, value and customer quality. Build and deliver category plans across range, pricing, promotions, supplier base and seasonal trading. Shape the procurement approach and supplier strategy for your core produce category. Manage seasonal plans, crop transitions, commodity movement and supply risk. Work closely with internal teams, suppliers and growers to make joined-up trading decisions. Use sales, margin, SKU and supplier data to identify opportunities and improve category performance. What We're Looking For You'll need a strong commercial background in fresh produce, fresh food, grocery trading, buying, procurement or fast-moving short-shelf-life categories. Fresh produce experience would be ideal, but the client is open to people coming from either the supplier side or retail side. You do not need to have done both from day one if you have the commercial judgement, pace and curiosity to learn the missing side. This could suit someone with experience as a Trading Manager, Buying Manager, Category Buyer, Commercial Manager, Procurement Manager, Senior Buyer, Produce Buyer or supplier-side Commercial Manager. You're likely to do well here if you enjoy pace, numbers, supplier conversations, seasonal complexity and taking ownership of commercial decisions. Why Join? This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants more than a narrow buying or procurement role. You'll have real ownership of a visible fresh produce category, with direct influence over retail performance, supplier strategy, customer value and seasonal execution. The role also offers meaningful exposure to growers, suppliers and international sourcing markets, with overseas travel expected around four to six times per year depending on category. The package includes salary, bonus, cash allowance and a strong wider benefits offering. If you're interested in learning more, we'd be happy to have a confidential conversation.
