Gloucester, United Kingdom Community Foster Care Full time

**About Community Foster Care**

Community Foster Care is a Therapeutic Independent Foster Agency. We are also a charity with an important history based on principles of social justice and the power of communities. The children and young people Community Foster Care works with have experience Relational and Developmental trauma. These experiences lead to the presentation of multiple complexities, which require the love, security and sense of a belonging provided by a nurturing family. These families need to be resilient, highly skilled and well supported. We believe it takes a community to raise a child. As a therapeutic agency, we are exploring key approaches to refine how to achieve our vision.

**Approaches**

We use 3 core principles in our work with children and families:

- Practice informed by psychodynamic and systemic approaches, attachment theory, and social justice.
- A reflective culture
- Collaborative and relational based working

**These approaches require all the people that work as part of this community to be**:

- Alignment with CFC core values.
- Prepared to bring your true and best self to the work
- Mentally and physically resilient.
- Ability to think about what you did well and what you could have done better and how this impacted on you and others.
- Ability to mentalise, to put themselves in other’s shoes.
- Prepared to be open to challenges from others.
- Willing to tolerate significant exposure from professional network and remain engaged as a team player with them.
- Commitment to engage Therapeutic parenting approaches.
- Committed to ongoing personal development and training
- Minded to collaborate with other in and across teams

**Our Vision**

A world where all children and young people grow up in families rich in the essential ingredients required for them to realise their ambitions and dreams.

**Role Summary**

You will work closely with foster families and social workers to seek families for children referred, supporting a successful effective transition. You will ensure there are clear agreements between all parties and clarity about the CFC Service offer and partner expectations. You will monitor the achievement of these and report on this. Alongside this, you will monitor on behalf of CFC to ensure that we are compliant for children in our care in terms of fostering regulations, GDPR and H&S to assure a safe service and positive outcomes for the child.
