Ivybridge, United Kingdom The FCA Full time

**FOSTER CARE ASSOCIATES (THE FCA)**

**Role: Administrator**

**Location: Devon - Ivybridge**

**Contract Type: Full-time**

**Salary: up to £19,500**

**Benefits: 30 days' Annual Leave, rising to 35 day's with length of service, + Bank Holidays, Life Assurance, Employee Discount Scheme & Medical Cash Plan.**

**ABOUT US**

Set up by a former foster parent and former social worker in 1994, Foster Care Associates (FCA) is an established fostering agency which forms part of the Polaris Community - one of the UK’s largest leading communities of children’s service providers.

The business was born out of an enthusiasm for delivering fostering services to make a positive difference to the lives of looked after children. Our first office was in the Worcestershire countryside, and that’s still where our Head Office is today.

We’ve come a long way since those early days and, over the years, FCA has built a strong reputation for excellence, and now offers a wide range of services to children and families. But our purpose remains the same; ‘to make a positive and lasting difference for children, families and communities’, and it’s underpinned by a series of values designed to help us assist children and young people to reach their full potential.

Today, we’re one of the country’s largest and most experienced independent fostering agencies. But just because we’re large doesn’t mean we’re impersonal. At FCA we’re one big family, and we’re committed to supporting every single child and foster parent, every single minute of the day.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and reliable Administrator with strong IT skills and an eye for detail to join us in our friendly, dedicated and established team working at our Cornwood Office based in Ivybridge.
