Taunton, Somerset, 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 established in 1994 by a former foster parent and social worker with a passion for delivering fostering services that make a positive difference to the lives of looked-after children.

Our mission remains the same: to make a positive and lasting difference for children, families, and communities. We achieve this through our core values and a commitment to excellence in everything we do.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior/Supervising Social Worker to join our team on a part-time basis (28 hours per week). As a Senior Social Work Professional, you will be responsible for managing a caseload of foster care placements and providing support to our foster families.

Key Responsibilities

  1. Manage a caseload of foster care placements, ensuring the needs of children and families are met.
  2. Provide regular support and supervision to foster families, promoting best practice and ensuring the well-being of children in care.
  3. Collaborate with other professionals, including social workers, therapists, and education providers, to ensure a holistic approach to supporting children and families.
  4. Contribute to the development of our fostering services, identifying areas for improvement and implementing changes to enhance the quality of care we provide.

What We Offer

We offer a competitive salary, up to £31,920 pro rata per annum, dependent on experience. You will also receive a company car or £2,000 car allowance, 30 days' annual leave (rising to 35 days upon length of service), plus bank holidays, a company pension scheme, life assurance, employee discount scheme, and medical cash plan (all benefits pro rata'd).

Location

This role is home-based, with a caseload covering Somerset. You will have the flexibility to work from home, with regular travel to meet with foster families and other professionals as required.
