Panel Rates of Pay: £150 per panel attended

Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of children and young people? Do you bring a unique perspective and experience that can contribute to a more inclusive and supportive fostering community?

We want you to join FCA Cymru as a Panel Member

About Us

Set up by a former foster parent and former social worker in 1994, Foster Care Associates (FCA) is an established fostering agency, which forms part of the Polaris Community - one of the UK's largest leading communities of children's service providers.

Today, we're one of the country's largest and most experienced independent fostering agencies. But just because we're large doesn't mean we're impersonal. At FCA we're one big family, and we're committed to supporting every single child and foster parent, every single minute of the day.

Many who enter our care have experienced a disrupted childhood and our aim is to break this cycle and provide more stability. We do this by carefully matching the right foster parents to the right children, and making sure we're always on hand with support, guidance and help.

Our expertise helps ensure more successful placements - and that's exactly the sort of continuity we want. This commitment is spelt out in our mission which is to 'provide positive and stable family environments for the children and young people placed with our carers and ensure that, with the support of our carers, they can thrive emotionally and academically'.

At FCA Cymru, we are dedicated to providing safe, nurturing, and supportive homes for children and young people in care. Our mission is to ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential. We believe that diversity enriches our community and enhances our ability to serve children from all backgrounds.

Independent Panel Member's Responsibilities:

As a Panel Member, you will play a crucial role in the assessment and approval of foster parents. You will review applications, participate in panel meetings, and contribute to decisions that impact the lives of children and foster families. Your insights and experiences will help us make informed, fair, and compassionate decisions.

  • Review and evaluate foster parent applications and reports
  • Attend and actively participate in panel meetings
  • Provide balanced and thoughtful contributions to discussions and decisions
  • Ensure that the best interests of the child are at the forefront of all decisions.
  • To ensure that issues of concern, in relation both to individual cases and to more general matters are raised as appropriate.
  • To safeguard the confidentiality of all Panel papers and Panel discussions.

Skills and Qualifications:

  • A commitment to the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion
  • Personal or professional experience with the foster care system is highly valued
  • Strong analytical and communication skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively and respectfully within a team
  • Compassion and a deep understanding of the challenges and rewards of fostering

Why Join Us?

  • Make a meaningful impact on the lives of children and young people
  • Be part of a supportive and diverse team that values your unique perspective
  • Gain valuable experience in child welfare and fostering
  • Receive comprehensive training and support

What we offer:

  • Full induction
  • Annual training

  • £150 per day, inclusive of reading time

We Encourage Applications From:

  • Individuals from diverse ethnic, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds

  • People with a variety of professional and personal experiences, including those with disabilities
  • Members of the LGBTQ+ community
  • Anyone who is passionate about child welfare and inclusive fostering practices

How to Apply:

If you are ready to make a difference and bring your unique experiences to our fostering agency, we would love to hear from you
