About Us

We’re one assessment service made up of two dedicated teams, all working together with the same purpose: making sure Lancashire’s children, young people, and families receive the very best support.

Our Kinship Assessment Team

Our Kinship colleagues focus on assessing and supporting Lancashire’s kinship carers. Their work includes carrying out viability assessments for prospective Connected Carers and Special Guardians, completing Regulation 24 assessments, supervising carers, and preparing detailed assessment reports for both Fostering Panel and Court. They play a key role in helping children remain within their wider family networks whenever this is safe and right for them.

Our Mainstream Assessment Team

Our Mainstream team leads on recruiting and assessing Lancashire's mainstream foster carers. This includes initial visits, completing full fostering assessments, and preparing families through tailored training so they feel confident, supported, and ready for the fostering journey.

Both teams are based at County Hall in Preston, although we currently work flexibly. As our work takes us across Lancashire, you’ll need to be able to travel independently.

Mainstream Assessment Team – 1 Social Worker

- Sabbatical cover
Kinship Assessment Team – 1 Social Worker
Full-time
Immediate start – P ermanent

Our Values – What Matters to Us

Everything we do is grounded in clear and heartfelt principles:

Putting children, young people, and families at the heart of every decision.
Making sure families are genuinely involved, whether the decision is big or small.
Working together to continually shape and improve the support we offer.
Building meaningful relationships and effective partnerships across services.
Removing barriers so children and families can access the opportunities they deserve.

What You Can Expect When You Join Us

Supportive, stable leadership: Our permanent management team is approachable and committed to helping you grow—whatever stage of your social work career you’re at.
Clear career progression: We take pride in supporting development and celebrating strengths.
Outstanding support for newly qualified social workers: From bite-size learning events and development sessions to ASYE groups, mentoring, and a dedicated Social Work Academy, you’ll never feel alone in your learning journey.
A strong team culture: You’ll join a team of up to 24 social workers and be fully involved in team meetings, reflective sessions, and wellbeing events.
Competitive salary: We’re happy to discuss salary at interview, basing our offer on your knowledge, experience, and skills.
Employee wellbeing support: All LCC staff can access our free Employee Assistance Programme for counselling and advice on personal, family, or workplace matters.

Who We’re Looking For

We’d love to hear from social workers who share our values and want to make a real difference. You’ll be someone who is:

Supportive – You understand how powerful it is when carers feel truly supported, and you’re committed to helping children feel safe, happy, and loved.

Innovative – You enjoy exploring new ideas and contributing to initiatives that help us continually improve what we offer.

Respectful – You recognise the diverse needs of our children, carers, and colleagues, and your practice is inclusive and anti-discriminatory.

Collaborative – You value partnership working and want to play an active role in shaping the future of our fostering service.

Interested?
