Apprentice - Foster4 (Fixed Term until 31/03/25) About us

8 Local Authorities have secured over £2.3million in Department for Education (DfE) funding to transform fostering recruitment and retention across Cheshire and Merseyside. We hope that the funding will assist us to recruit and retain more foster carers and improve placement sufficiency across the region.

Warrington will be leading on the project and working with seven other local authorities – Liverpool, Wirral, Knowsley, Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester, Halton, and St Helens to deliver the programme over two years.

Over £1million of the funding will go towards delivering a new, larger and improved Foster4 Recruitment Hub, which will launch in April 2024 . The improved hub will help all councils in the consortium to deliver a more joined up approach to foster care recruitment and provide an offer that is attractive and supportive to prospective carers.

The role

We are looking for a care experienced young person to join our Foster4 team. In this role you will provide support to the team, whilst completing an appropriate apprenticeship qualification, aligned to the job role. You will need to work as part of the team undertaking duties specific to the needs of the team, be able to work on your own initiative, determine appropriate courses of action to a range of issues, and prioritise your workload to meet required deadlines.

What's needed?

Availability to work the above hours and flexibility to cover alternative arrangements to respond to emerging work demands. Enhanced DBS required for this post.

As well as a competitive salary, working for us means you get:

  • 26 days annual holiday - raising to 31 after 5 years of service (pro-rata)
  • Access to our attractive and competitive benefits package
  • Access to our Health & Wellbeing Programme
Key Dates & Further Information

For an informal discussion please email the Assistant Director, Sharon Cooper.

DBS clearance is required.

The ability to converse at ease with customers and provide advice in accurate spoken English is essential for the post.

If you are a permanent WBC employee you will need to apply for this fixed term position as an internal secondment opportunity and will need to discuss this with your current line manager prior to applying.

DBS clearance is required.
