At Fusion Fostering Limited, our focus is to achieve positive experiences for the children and young people looked after by our dedicated foster carers.

We consistently drive positive outcomes for young people and this child-focussed approach, combined with our commitment to continuous learning and improvement, has contributed to our reputation for service excellence, and recent growth of the organisation.

We are currently seeking a **Support Worker** to join our friendly, supportive team in the South West. The role will involve direct work with children, plus support to our dedicated foster carers. You will also be involved foster carer events, training and forums. Plus, children's transportation, contact visits, social events and activities. Hours will often be in the evenings and/or weekends so your flexibility is essential. Your diary will be agreed with management, in advance but hours will equate to 37.5 per week. You may be required to travel across Somerset and into Bristol, Dorset and Devon.

You will have previous experience in working with children, young people and their families in childcare, social work, social care, counselling, youth work or education settings.

You will need to have your own transport and current driving licence. All expenses are reimbursed including business miles at 0.45p per mile (HMRC guidelines).

Training will be given, and you will have supervision meetings with your manager on a monthly basis to aid your development.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Therefore, we expect all workers and employees to share this commitment.

We encourage a diverse workforce which reflects the communities we serve. To achieve this, we aim to respect personal differences and promote fairness and dignity for all. We are committed to being an equal opportunity employer.
