Watford, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom FCA Careers Full time

About FCA Careers

Foster Care Associates (FCA) is a leading fostering agency that forms part of the Polaris Community, one of the UK's largest communities of children's service providers.

We were set up by a former foster parent and social worker in 1994 with a passion for delivering fostering services that make a positive difference to the lives of looked after children.

Our purpose remains the same: to make a positive and lasting difference for children, families, and communities. We achieve this through our values, which are designed to help us assist children and young people to reach their full potential.

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Supervising Social Worker to join our team on a 12-month fixed-term, part-time basis (21 hours per week). As a Supervising Social Worker, you will be responsible for managing a caseload of foster children and providing guidance and support to our foster carers.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage a caseload of foster children and provide regular visits and support to foster carers
  • Develop and implement individual care plans for each child in your caseload
  • Work closely with other professionals, such as social workers, therapists, and education providers, to ensure the best possible outcomes for the children in your care
  • Provide training and support to foster carers to help them develop their skills and knowledge

What We Offer

We offer a competitive salary of up to £38,984 per annum (pro rata) dependent on experience, as well as a range of benefits, including a £2,000 car allowance, 30 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, life assurance, employee discount scheme, company pension, and medical cash plan.

Location

This role is home-based, with a caseload covering Watford. You will be required to travel to meetings and visits with foster children and carers, but the majority of your work will be done from home.
