    Description

    Fostering Social Worker - Kinship Fostering Support Team Role Responsibility

    Various Hours Available: Full time 1x position OR PT roles either 2x roles with shared 37 hours or 1x 4 day a week 30 hours post

    Please specify when applying whether you are interested in FT or PT roles.

    Due to a number of new opportunities being offered across Kent Fostering Service, we are recruiting Social Workers to join our expanding Kinship Support Team. These are new opportunities being offered as part of the service's commitment to building on the support on offer to friends and family member carers.

    The Kinship Fostering Support Team provides support, supervision and training to our KCC Connected Persons Foster Carers and their families to enable them to provide the best possible trauma informed care to the children and young people they care for.

    As a Fostering Social Worker in the team, you will play a key role in supporting Kinship Foster Carers and the children they look after to thrive. With the support of regular supervision from the Team Manager, you will need to build relationships with fostering families and children, providing effective supervision, advice and guidance. You will work closely with the team around the child to facilitate effective service delivery and safeguard and promote the welfare of children.

    We will be offering lower caseloads within this team to ensure that the complex support these families need is achievable. This means more time to deliver person-centred care and achieve the best possible outcomes.

    This is a countywide team so we will be using a hybrid model of working and office base will be negotiable.

    Benefits and Rewards

    As a member of staff you will have access to a competitive range of benefits, including:

    • Performance related pay increase
    • The option to enrol into the excellent Local Government Pension Scheme
    • A range of leave options to help you manage your work / life balance
    • Flexible working – work from home and office as required and we will provide you with the kit needed to work remotely
    • Sickness provision
    • Ability to buy annual leave
    • Training and career development opportunities
    • Access to a range of local and national discounts and cashback through our Kent Rewards website

    This post is subject to an Enhanced Disclosure application to the Disclosure and Barring service and registration as a qualified Social Worker with Social Work England.

    This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position. The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements. The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.

    Interview date: 14th May 2024
