Rochdale is delighted to have been selected as the Host Local Authority for the Greater Manchester Fostering Recruitment and Support hub. This is a DFE funded scheme and we are one of ten pathfinder locations across the country.

This programme is in response to the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care, the government published ‘Stable Homes, Built on Love’ giving a commitment to delivering a regionally focused programme for fostering recruitment and retention.

The fostering recruitment hub is part of a DfE-funded fostering recruitment and retention programme, which includes:

- Implementing a regional foster recruitment support hub
- A foster carer recruitment communications campaign
- A foster carer retention programme.

The regional hub will work closely with colleagues across the ten LA’s in the development and delivery of the hub for Greater Manchester. This is a really exciting fast paced programme of work and we are seeking to establish an innovative and creative team with a strong fostering knowledge base and a passion for fostering recruitment.

The aims of the fostering recruitment hub are:

- To boost the number of quality enquiries and build evidence of effective marketing strategies
- Establish a pan-local authority approach to fostering recruitment
- Provide a central 'landing page' for the communications campaign, ensuring a good user journey through the system.

There will be a regional focus on communications, building on what we know works in foster care recruitment. Adverts will direct prospective foster carers to the recruitment support hub.

Having appointed to the role of the GM Hub Practice Manager, we are now seeking to appoint to the following roles:
**Advanced Practitioner (Grade 9)** x 1** - Grade 9, with 3 years post qualifying experience within a fostering service.

**Social Worker (Grade 8)** x 2** -2 years post qualifying experience within a fostering service.

For internal staff, secondments are welcome, please speak to your line manager if you are interested in this position, as a secondment, before you apply.

What we offer:

- In Rochdale we are passionate about relational practice and this underpins all of our work and practice. Relational practice is key in the recruitment and support of foster carers, so this will be a key area of focus for us.
- Flexible and agile working arrangements, so you can balance your work and home commitments.
- Bespoke leadership learning programme & Advance Practitioner Group.
- Regular supervision and a visible and supportive leadership team.
- Continual professional development, underpinned by a strong training and development offer.
- Additional retention payments and professional fees paid.
- Rochdale is a well-connected location with good access from Manchester, Lancashire and Yorkshire.
