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
- Manage a caseload of foster care placements, ensuring the needs of children and families are met.
- Provide regular support and supervision to foster families, promoting best practice and ensuring the well-being of children in care.
- Collaborate with other professionals, including social workers, therapists, and education providers, to ensure a holistic approach to supporting children and families.
- 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.
