Ensure that the foster carer is working to and meeting all the National Minimum Fostering Standards (NMS) and Fostering Regulations in their practice. Ensure all necessary compliance checks for the fostering household are up-to-date, including DBS checks, Health Assessments, Safer Caring Policy, and other related household checks. Support the home finding process for children needing to come into care, working alongside the Placement Team and the Child's Social Worker (CSW). Attend the Fostering Panel as required to present annual reviews, variations, or other reports. Essentials A recognised professional Social Work qualification (e.g., Degree in Social Work, DipSW, CQSW). Current registration with Social Work England (SWE). Significant post‑qualifying experience in Childrens Social Care, with proven experience in Fostering, Looked After Children, or Children in Need teams. Demonstrable experience in the assessment and supervision of foster carers (mainstream or kinship). Experience in applying the National Minimum Fostering Standards and Regulations in practice. Expert knowledge of relevant legislation, guidance, and statutory frameworks relating to Fostering and Looked After Children (e.g., Children Act 1989/2004). Proven ability to conduct high‑quality, analytical assessments and write clear, professional reports (e.g., annual reviews, Form F).
