These are challenging and rewarding opportunities to play an instrumental role in developing a high quality service within our specialist fostering projects. Your key focus will be on recruiting, training, assessing, supporting and supervising foster carers and you must have a proven track record of relevant skills. We have been successful in recruiting black carers into the service, and you’ll bring a good understanding of the needs of black and ethnic minority foster carers, and looked after children. The Bradford post will initially be based at Sheffield and require travel between projects in the two cities. As our services develop, it is envisaged that you will be based within a growing team in Bradford.
