Job Details:

Job Reference: HCC624771

Salary Range: £27,780 - £30,564

Work Location: Elizabeth II Court, Winchester (Hybrid working)

Hours per week: 37

Contract Type: Permanent

Closing Date: 6 September 2026

Interview Date: 14 and 15 September 2026

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Placement Officer to join the Placements and Quality Team (PQT) within Shared Services at Hampshire County Council.

Are you looking for a fast-paced and rewarding role where you can make a real difference to children and young people? Working as part of a supportive and collaborative team, you will play a key role in identifying and securing high-quality placements that meet the needs of Hampshire’s looked after children.

The Role:

The PQT plays a key role in securing safe, stable and high-quality homes for Looked After Children across Hampshire. We work across a diverse range of provision, including foster care, residential care, special educational needs schools, supported accommodation and short breaks.

As a Placement Officer, you will play an important role in linking Social Work teams with providers, co-ordinating home-finding activity and helping to secure the right setting for each child or young person. You will need to balance urgency with quality, ensuring that the homes identified not only meet immediate needs but also support longer-term stability and positive outcomes.

This is a varied and fast-paced role where no two days are the same. You will manage your own caseload of live referrals, working to tight timescales and responding to changing priorities, while building and maintaining effective relationships with both internal colleagues and external providers.

You will be expected to think creatively and persist when identifying options, particularly where needs are complex or availability is limited. Your work will play a key part in ensuring that decisions are well-informed, represent good value, and are aligned with each child’s care plan.

This is a hybrid role, with at least one day per week based in our Winchester office. There is also flexibility to attend in-person meetings and team activities in line with service needs.

What you’ll do:

Coordinate home-finding activity based on referral information, using phone, email and online systems.
Manage and prioritise a caseload of live referrals, working to tight timescales.
Negotiate costs and work with providers to secure homes that are safe, suitable, and aligned with each child’s care plan and long-term outcomes.
Maintain accurate and up-to-date records, including chronologies and tracking tools (e.g. SharePoint/Excel).
Provide clear and timely updates to Social Workers and Team Managers.
Ensure a prompt response to enquiries, including coordinating urgent same-day home-finding activity.
Build and maintain strong working relationships with colleagues and external providers.
Use children’s electronic record systems to ensure accurate recording and compliance.

What we’re looking for:

An organised and proactive individual with strong administrative, IT and communication skills, who can manage competing priorities while maintaining accurate records and confidentiality. You will be a flexible team player with excellent attention to detail and the ability to build positive working relationships in a busy environment.

Why join us?

Opportunity to make a meaningful difference to the lives of children and young people.
Supportive team environment with opportunities for collaboration and learning.
Access to training and development across commissioning, contract management and Children’s Services.
Flexible hybrid working arrangements.
Preparation for future senior-level opportunities.

Our benefits package includes details of the holiday entitlement, pension scheme, flexi-time scheme, family friendly policies and interest free travel loans and discounts. We offer a flexible, motivating and inclusive workplace. We have created an environment that you can look forward to being a part of, where you are empowered to be your best and a workplace built on teamwork where people can grow and develop in their roles.

If you think you have what it takes to make a real difference in Hampshire, get in touch!
