This is an exciting time to join Lewisham Children & Young Peoples Service and make a significant contribution to meeting the needs of our Looked After Children and Young People.

In response to the increased complexity of identifying and securing quality matched placements, we have introduced two new Senior Placement Officer roles to support the operational delivery of the Children Placements Service.

The work of the team is busy, and we require two Senior Placement Officers who will be responsible for running an effective duty system. They will oversee the daily operations of the service, to respond to planned and emergency placement requests, ensuring Placement Officers are positioned to be responsive and proactive in leading placement searches.

They will provide the daily oversight of Placement Officers work, to ensure that an effective service is delivered, giving our children and young people an experience of connection, and belonging in their care placement.

The Senior Placement Officers will also carry a small caseload of more complex placement searches, and are expected to develop and maintain relationships with a range of external providers, and work closely with managers and social workers in the fostering service to maximize in house placement opportunities.
