Due to career progression, we have opportunities for colleagues to join our team. As a Supervising Social Worker, you are the key link for our foster carers with local authorities, and will ensure quality of care for children and young people; identifying positive matches providing support, supervision and development opportunities for foster carers as appropriate. Your role is not only working with our foster carers as you will also link in with children and young people – checking in with them regularly to ensure their view and wishes are being heard and they are supported to achieve positive outcomes and are happy, safe and feel loved.

Our carers consistently share that they value the relationships they have with the staff team, particularly their supervising social worker. The flexibility of working with Care Visions Fostering ensures that our team can provide excellent support to our fostering families, while managing their own diary. Our full-time team members generally work their hours Monday to Friday during core office hours. We hold our fostering panels on a Monday, and part-time colleagues ensure they can support this. We provide out of hours on call telephone support (incl. weekends) and our SSWs support this on an 8-weekly rota basis (supported by a manager) with an additional daily payment in respect of this.

We would love to work with someone who is a proactive team player with excellent communication skills and the ability to work flexibly, and independently. You must have a good working knowledge of child protection procedures, legislation, and regulations in relation to looked after children and fostering.
