Part Time Supervising Social Worker Base Location: Coventry Hours: 28 hours per week (4 days) Salary: Up to 34,507 FTE 43,134.00 Benefits: 3,000 Car Allowance, 30 days' Annual Leave (increasing to 35 days with length of service) + Bank Holidays, Company Pension, Life Assurance x2, Employee Discount Scheme & Medical Cash Plan (all benefits will be pro-rata) Office Location: Long Eaton Location: Midlands and South Yorkshire as a standard caseload, will be no more than 1 hour's drive (but flexibility will be required on occasion as part of team working) About Us Fosterplus was founded in 1996, giving us 25 years' continuous experience as an independent fostering agency. Continuity is important to us, and we look to create it in everything we do - most critically, for the children and young people we look after. 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 are always on hand with support, guidance and help. Our expertise helps ensure more successful placements - and that is 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'. Requirements Fosterplus Coventry is currently seeking a qualified and experienced Social Worker who is enthusiastic, committed and has an appreciation of the role of the foster parent and their skills. We ask our Social Workers to take a collaborative approach with foster parents in order to promote meaningful and relevant supervision of placements. Experience of working with foster parents as professional colleagues and working within a multi-discipline arena is essential, as is holding a full driving licence, a confident driver and having unrestricted access to your own car.

We do this by carefully matching the right foster parents to the right children, and making sure, we are always on hand with support, guidance and help. Our expertise helps ensure more successful placements - and that is exactly the sort of continuity we want.
