About the Role

Cambridgeshire County Council is seeking an experienced and dedicated Social Worker to join its Fostering Service.

This is an excellent opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of children and young people by supporting foster carers and ensuring high-quality placements are maintained across the county. Working within a supportive fostering team, you will build strong relationships with foster families, children, and partner agencies to promote positive outcomes and stability for children in care.

The role offers a flexible hybrid working arrangement, with regular visits to foster carers' homes across Cambridgeshire and office attendance in Huntingdon approximately 2-3 times per month.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide professional support, guidance, and supervision to foster carers, promoting best practice and positive outcomes for children and young people.
  • Undertake regular visits to foster carers' homes across Cambridgeshire.
  • Complete fostering assessments, reviews, and support plans in line with statutory requirements and local authority procedures.
  • Develop and maintain effective working relationships with foster carers, children, birth families, and professionals involved in the child's care.
  • Act as a key point of contact and advocate for foster carers and the children they support.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date case records, reports, and documentation.
  • Work collaboratively with multi-agency partners including health services, education providers, and voluntary sector organisations.
  • Respond effectively to safeguarding concerns, ensuring that child protection procedures are implemented where required.
  • Participate in team meetings, supervision, and ongoing professional development activities.

About You

  • Qualified Social Worker status and Social Work England registration.
  • Experience working within a Fostering, Children Looked After, or Children's Social Work setting.
  • Strong knowledge of fostering regulations, safeguarding procedures, and relevant legislation.
  • Experience of supporting foster carers and managing complex cases.
  • Excellent assessment, report-writing, and communication skills.
  • The ability to work effectively with children, families, carers, and partner agencies.
  • A commitment to achieving positive outcomes for children and young people.

This role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975. As this role is eligible for an Enhanced DBS check, applicants are required to declare any cautions and convictions that are not protected under current filtering rules.

If you are an experienced Social Worker with a passion for fostering and improving outcomes for children, we'd love to hear from you.
