Non Case-holding Family Finder

A Local Authority based in London is seeking an experienced Social Worker to take on a specialist role as a Family Finder

Highlights:

  • Will be a part of the Practice Support Group - which is similar to a Pod model and functions as a unit to provide a more holistic package of care to service users
  • The Practice Support Group is a multi disciplinary team where you will have the support of other specialists such as Mental Health Practitioners to support with services users with additional needs.
  • Most decisions about family finding are agreed during monthly and weekly meetings with the Practice Support Group
  • This is a specialist non case holding post where you will be providing advice and support with regard to family finding issues at any point in the Care Proceedings
  • Family Finding will require you to have a good understanding of the legal and policy frameworks surrounding adoption and adoption support.
  • The Local Authority received a Good Ofsted in its last Ofsted inspection
  • The Local Authority uses Systemic Practice which you will receive training on.
  • This is an excellent opportunity to take on a specialist non case-holding post which works closely with Children who are Looked After to help find permanency. You will be working within the Local Authorities Practice Support Group and will be working with the Fostering and Adoption services very closely in order to ensure permanency is obtained. The majority of the decisions will occur within the weekly and monthly meeting where your Practice Support Group will come together to discuss cases.

    The Local Authority has achieved a Good Ofsted rating following its last Ofsted inspection highlighting the good level of practice and timescales being met. Furthermore the Local authority uses Systemic Practice which you will receive training on. There are strong incentives for those who are career driven as you will be provided with a budget to access courses provided by external providers. To further support your learning and development you will have a number of days per year to use as study leave.

    To be considered for this post you should have a sound understanding of Care Proceedings, Fostering and Adoption processes.
