Contribute to innovative approaches such as activity days and fostering events , helping children and carers build meaningful connections
Work closely with social workers, foster carers and partner agencies to achieve the best possible outcomes for children and families

This role is more than just matching – it’s about changing lives . You will help children experience stability, belonging and the opportunity to reach their full potential.

At Lancashire County Council, we believe in:

Putting children and families at the heart of everything we do
Valuing diversity, partnership working and strong communities
Supporting our staff to grow, develop and thrive in their careers

You will be joining a service that:

Is supportive, forward-thinking and ambitious
Encourages innovation and new ideas
Invests in your learning, development and wellbeing
Recognises the importance of teamwork and shared success
