About National Fostering Group
88% of employees at National Fostering Group say it is a great place to work, compared to 54% of employees at a typical UK based company
With over 20 years' experience, National Fostering Group is the largest independent children's fostering group in the UK with a community of over 3,000 foster carers, We support just over 4,000 cared for children through 31 agencies across the UK.
As a Group, we work with Local Authorities to provide the highest quality of care for children and young people. All of our fostering agencies are officially recognised by Ofsted, Welsh and Scottish regulators as either ‘Outstanding’ or ‘Good’ which we are extremely proud of.
In this role you will be the first point of contact for prospective foster carers, guiding and supporting them through the whole assessment process. You will be responsible for conducting well evidenced assessments which elicit comprehensive reports within established timelines, ensuring accuracy and high-quality standards.
Effective communication with colleagues and building relationships with the fostering agencies in your region will be crucial to this role. You will participate in recruitment and retention meetings, contribute to best practice development, and help facilitate workshops to share knowledge and enhance practice standards.
This role will involve a lot of travel to applicants’ homes and fostering agencies to gather information, facts and evidence to prepare comprehensive assessment reports. You will also prepare prospective foster carers for panel presentations, reassuring them and managing their concerns throughout the process.
The Assessing Social Worker will be a dedicated and experienced Social Worker with a degree in Social Work and relevant registration. The ideal candidate will have proven experience working with foster carers, children, and families, and expertise in family placement, child care, and permanency.
You will be experienced and proficient in completing fostering assessments, informed risk evaluations and presenting fostering assessments to panels. You will need strong interpersonal skills, the ability to handle sensitive situations with empathy, and excellent report-writing capabilities.
The candidate must be knowledgeable about child development, attachment theory, and fostering regulations. A commitment to equal opportunities, personal learning and development, along with the ability to travel flexibly across a region is required.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all employees to share this commitment and undertake appropriate checks.
