INTEGRATED SERVICES PROGRAMME (ISP) Part Time Fostering Advisor Salary: 22,300 - 23,900 per annum prorated Core Hours: 9am - 5pm 3 days per week (21 hours) Working Days: Negotiable Location: Office Based - Milton Keynes Benefits: 30 days' Annual Leave (increasing to 35 days with length of service) + Bank Holidays, Company Pension, Life Assurance, Employee Discount Scheme & Medical Cash (all benefits will be prorated) About Us Set up in 1987 by a small but passionate group of Foster Parents, we became the UK's first independent Foster Care agency. That gives us the benefit of over 30 years' of fostering experience and we're still going strong! The founder members recognised that looked after children - especially those who'd had very difficult starts in life - needed specialist support. So right from the beginning they put the child at the centre of their thinking and surrounded them with an integrated range of support services. In fact, that's what ISP means: Integrated Service Programme. Over time, this circle of support has increased to include a whole range of professionals that children and foster parents can tap into, whenever they need to. This includes social workers, fostering advisors, teachers and therapists, who all work with our foster parents and the children they look after, helping them understand and manage even the most challenging situations. This is what's known as a 'therapeutic approach' to fostering and it's something that we pioneered. What we are looking for Have you previously been a foster parent and looking for a career change, then the role of Fostering Advisor could be the role for you. Like our children, foster parents need support, encouragement and practical advice and sometimes just someone to listen. The Fostering Advisors in our teams are key to all of the support required to our foster parents and this critical role will be accountable for regularly visiting foster parents, offering advice and information regarding all the services and support available to them at ISP, Including matching considerations, respite, training, supervised contact, and transportation. Role responsibilities To have regular phone contact with foster parents to discuss general progress and to share ideas and strategies To make home visits agreed with the ISP Social Worker and Registered Manager To provide foster parents with information and advice, as appropriate, on support and services available to them through ISP and the Fostering Network, especially information and procedures to be followed if an allegation or complaint is made.

That gives us the benefit of over 30 years' of fostering experience and we're still going strong! The founder members recognised that looked after children - especially those who'd had very difficult starts in life - needed specialist support.

Over time, this circle of support has increased to include a whole range of professionals that children and foster parents can tap into, whenever they need to. This includes social workers, fostering advisors, teachers and therapists, who all work with our foster parents and the children they look after, helping them understand and manage even the most challenging situations. This is what's known as a 'therapeutic approach' to fostering and it's something that we pioneered. What we are looking for Have you previously been a foster parent and looking for a career change, then the role of Fostering Advisor could be the role for you.
