Social Worker - Fostering

North East Lincolnshire has achieved an “Outstanding” result in its most recent OFSTED inspection and continually seeks to improve its fostering services; we now have an opportunity for a qualified and experienced Child Care Social Worker to join the established fostering team based in Viking House, Grimsby. There is an extensive carer training programme in place and a strong emphasis on developing foster carer status. Although the full range of tasks, including assessment, placement and supervisory support to foster carers will be undertaken, there is also scope for additional specialist activity within the team. Support from Clinical Psychologists is a particular feature of the Council’s services to assist carers and children.

If you have at least two years experience as a qualified child care social worker or fostering social worker and the drive to contribute to a forward thinking fostering service, your application will be welcomed. For more information, please call Glenys Swallow, Principal Social Worker or Maria Chase, Service Manager on 01472 325555.
