This is a site-based role at County Hall, Newport, Isle of Wight, with agile and flexible work practices.
Position Details:
Location: County Hall, Newport, Isle of Wight
Salary: Career Grade 10, £37,955 to £40,787 per annum with a market supplement of between £1500-£4000

Why Join Us? On the Isle of Wight, our new Children’s Social Care leadership team understands that our social workers and staff need the right environment to thrive in this challenging, rewarding, and important field. Our vision is ‘creating change together’, which drives our values and behaviours to create positive change in partnership with our children and families, dedicated children’s social care staff, partners, and community services.
We value and respect the work you do and ensure our social work teams are equipped with the right tools, conditions, support, and guidance needed to make real change happen.
A Unique Opportunity: This is a unique and exciting time to join Isle of Wight Children’s Social Care. Following the successful completion of our 10-year partnership with Hampshire County Council on January 31, 2024, we have welcomed a brand-new senior leadership team determined to build our new Children's Service. Together, we are already working to create one connected directorate, where Children’s Social Care and our Education, Inclusion, and Access services are 100% focused on improving the lives of children and families on the Isle of Wight.
This is an exciting opportunity for qualified social workers to join a dynamic, forward thinking and enthusiastic social work team. The Fostering and Adoption Team encompasses the Fostering and Adoption services for the Isle of Wight. This is structured into three hubs with an Assistant Team Manager heading each hub. The Fostering Recruitment and Assessment Hub, The Fostering Support Hub and the Adoption Hub. The Hubs have defined activities although the team work together when needed to support each other.
Isle of Wight Children’s Services has an OFSTED rating of ‘Good’ and here in the Fostering Service we are reviewing and redesigning our support offer to Foster Carers with the aim of increasing the recruitment and retention of Foster Carers, improving the quality of reflective supervision and creating the right conditions for social workers to focus on supporting their carers to promote positive outcomes for them and the children they care for.
The post holders will be required to support the fostering service by undertaking the following:
Recruit, train and assess potential foster carers
Provide robust supervision and support to foster carers
Manage a case load and deliver on targets set by Legislation and Council requirements.
To deliver or co present comprehensive training, Skills to Foster, to prospective foster carers in line with respective legislation and regulation requirements
To contribute to data monitoring including collating and analysing feedback to inform service development
We are seeking dedicated, skilled, and ambitious social workers who share our vision to grow the Island’s community of Foster Carers and get things right for our carers and children, at the right time, in the right place, with the right support and intervention.
Do you...
Have skills in completing robust and analytical assessments
Want a new challenge?
Want to work in a dynamic environment?
Want to focus on improvement and continual learning?
Share our vision and ambition to increase the recruitment and retention of foster carers?
If the answer is yes, we would love to hear from you!
Our practice model is:
relational
strengths based
solution focussed
restorative
We embody this model in all our relationships. We embrace an inclusive culture and will support you in your role and challenge you to be your best.
