You will influence service development, champion safeguarding, oversee quality assurance processes and build strong partnerships with local authorities, commissioners and other key stakeholders.

Provide high-quality supervision, guidance and professional development opportunities.
Manage the employee lifecycle in line with Barnardo's people policies and procedures.
Foster a positive, inclusive and high-performing team culture.

Ensure high standards of social work practice across the service.
Monitor casework, recording and decision-making to ensure compliance with Barnardo's standards.
Conduct quality assurance activities and support continual service improvement.
Maintain up-to-date knowledge of fostering, adoption and safeguarding legislation and implement changes where required.
Support and oversee foster carer Form F assessments and adopter AAR assessments.

Safeguarding & Risk Management

Lead safeguarding practice across the service, ensuring children remain at the centre of all decision-making.
Manage complaints and representations professionally and in accordance with policy and legislation.
Work collaboratively with external agencies to ensure effective safeguarding responses.
Promote a culture of safe, effective and compliant service delivery.

Service Development & Partnerships

Work with the Operations Manager to develop and implement strategic growth plans.
Build and maintain effective relationships with Local Authorities, commissioners and partner agencies.
Represent Barnardo's at internal and external meetings, panels and forums.
Contribute to service planning, review and development activities.
Deputise for the Operations Manager when required.

Reporting & Service Management

Produce high-quality reports for fostering and adoption panels, courts and senior management teams.
Monitor service performance, quality indicators and outcomes.
Support budget planning and effective financial management.
Ensure statutory reviews for foster carers and adopters are planned and completed effectively.

Learning & Development

Design and deliver training for foster carers and adopters.
Promote continuous learning and professional development across the team.
Ensure staff, workers and volunteers complete all mandatory and regulatory training requirements.

About You

We are looking for an experienced and knowledgeable social work professional who:

Holds a recognised Social Work qualification and relevant registration with NISCC.
Has significant experience within fostering, adoption or family placement services.
Demonstrates proven leadership and people management experience.
Has strong knowledge of safeguarding, fostering and adoption legislation and regulatory frameworks.
Is confident in quality assurance, service development and stakeholder engagement.
Possesses excellent communication, report-writing and relationship-building skills.
Is passionate about achieving the very best outcomes for children and young people.

What We Offer

The opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of children, young people and families.
A supportive and values-led working environment.
Ongoing professional development and learning opportunities.
The chance to influence and shape high-quality family placement services.
A rewarding leadership role within one of the UK's most respected children's charities.

If you share our passion for creating brighter futures for children, we'd love to hear from you.

Working Hours: Monday to Friday (37 hours per week) with flexibility to undertake occasional recruitment and training events and visits during evenings and on Saturdays. Although this is a full-time role we may consider part time hours for the right candidate.

Location: Office base 230b Belmont Road, Belfast, Northern Ireland, BT4 2AW. Travel is required across Northern Ireland.

This is a hybrid working role – We place value on colleagues spending time together at our office base on a regular basis, with flexibility to work from home for part of the week.

Pay & Reward Framework

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.

For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.

Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.
