An experienced and committed Children’s Social Worker is required to join a Fostering Team supporting children and foster carers across North Yorkshire. This is an opportunity to contribute to the recruitment, assessment, approval and ongoing support of foster carers, helping to secure safe, stable and nurturing homes for children and young people.

You will undertake thorough assessments of prospective foster carers, prepare high-quality reports for fostering panels and decision-makers, and provide clear recommendations based on evidence, safeguarding considerations and the needs of children. You will also supervise approved foster carers, complete statutory visits and reviews, monitor placements, and ensure that care is delivered in line with relevant legislation, regulations, policies and national standards.

The role involves working closely with children, young people, families, foster carers, schools, health professionals and other partner agencies. You will contribute to care planning, placement stability, permanence planning and safeguarding activity, responding promptly to concerns and helping to resolve challenges within placements.

Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You should have relevant post-qualifying experience in children’s social care, fostering, family placement or a related safeguarding setting, with a sound understanding of assessment, risk management and child development. Experience of preparing reports for panels and supervising foster carers would be advantageous.

You will need strong communication, organisation and analytical skills, together with the confidence to make balanced professional judgements. The successful candidate will be resilient, reflective and able to manage competing priorities while maintaining a child-centred approach. A valid driving licence and the ability to travel across the area may be required.
