Now is a very exciting time to join the Fostering Service in Salford. We want children growing up in Salford to see and say that their city, community, and services are great, and this was recognised in our latest Ofsted report which rates our overall services as ‘good’, with outstanding elements.

We are seeking to appoint a Supervising Social Worker within the Fostering Team. The roles will require excellent assessment and analytical skills whilst representing the authority in undertaking timely assessments of applicant foster carers, supervision and ensuring carers are able to meet the National Minimum Standards.

We are looking for Social Workers with experience of undertaking assessments within set times scales. Social workers with positive approaches, solution focused and able to display and promote positive practice whilst demonstrating enthusiasm and passion for protecting children and young people across the city.

We offer a highly supportive and nurturing environment which enables individuals to grow as autonomous practitioners. We have adapted our working practice, by way of blended working and use of technology.

Main Duties include:

You will work directly with applicant foster carers and foster carer using a range of knowledge, skills and interventions as required, in accordance with statutory responsibilities to secure positive outcomes for children.
You will have a good understanding of Fostering National Minimum Standards and how potential Foster Carers can be supported to meet these standards.
You will build effective relationships with applicant carers, their families enabling full participation in assessment, planning, review and decision making.
You will effectively manage and build relationships and networks with other professionals, services and panels with appropriate supervision, guidance and support from an experienced supportive management team.
You will work in accordance with national and local policies and procedures, and use the law, regulatory and statutory guidance to inform practice decisions.
You will prepare and produce a variety of high quality professional written documentation to required quality standards on behalf of the City Council.
You will work with partner agencies and represent the Council at a range of meetings, proceedings and reviews as required. You will secure access to services, negotiating and challenging other professionals and organisations to provide the help required.
You will provide support based on best evidence, which is tailored to meet individual assessment need and addresses relevant and significant risks.
You will be involved in recruitment and retention activities that take pace throughout the year.
You will act as liaison for Mockingbird Hub carer

This role is crucial in supporting our journey to the implementation of the Family Partnership Model of practice, and Therapeutic Care Giving to continue to improve the outcomes for children and families in Salford. You will need to be passionate about working with children and young people, families and carers, have a practice base with strengths in relational and systemic practice and a passion for promoting the invaluable role of the foster carer.

In addition, free parking is available for registered car’s, access to co-wheels club cars and casual car user mileage payments are available for you to use for work purposes.
