Children's Social Worker, £40ph, Devon
Pertemps looking for an experienced Social Worker to work within the Kinship Assessment Service. The service is responsible for the assessment of connected carers, both as foster carers and special guardians.

This is a challenging and rewarding role which involves the preparation of assessments for both Court and Fostering Panels and supporting cares who are granted with Special Guardianship Orders who reside in Devon, as well as those where Devon was the responsible authority and who live elsewhere.This is an exciting time to join the team which is expanding due the increase of children being cared for within their family network.

  • Have at least 2 years post qualifying experience
  • An understanding of fostering and special guardianship regulations
