- To contribute to the development and review of robust policies and practice in relation to adoption and permanence which promote and maintain the safety, welfare and best outcomes for children and young people for whom adoption is the plan.

**Please see the job description for more information.**

**About you**:
We are looking for someone who has a minimum of 5 years direct experience of adoption and has acted in a managerial/supervisory capacity.

The successful applicant will also:

- Have a recognised Social Work qualification
- Be an excellent communicator with effective influencing, advocating and negotiating skills
- Poses the ability to deal with complex practice and legal issues relating to adoption and permanence work
- Be able to demonstrate a high level of written communication (ability to write reports)
- Have experience in the recruitment and training of prospective adoptive parents
- Knowledge of current research and reports concerning adoption and permanence issues

**Please see the job description for more information.**

**Our values**:
We pride ourselves on our core values of being **Proud, Ambitious, Collaborative **and **Trustworthy.**

We work together to deliver the very best outcomes, with both our residents and employees being at the heart of what we do.

By joining Buckinghamshire Council, you can expect:

- A fair and inclusive culture
- The chance to really make a difference to those around you
- Health and well-being initiatives including an Employee Assistance Programme, Mental Health First Aiders and mindfulness workshops
- A unified voice through our Employee Representative Group
- Ongoing support, and the opportunity to develop and progress in your career with us
- Opportunities to take part in fun activities such as fundraising and social events.
