Quality Assurance: Oversee the recruitment, assessment, and training of foster carers, ensuring the "matching" process is robust and child-centred.
Safeguarding: Act as the lead for safeguarding, ensuring that all children are protected and that risks are managed with clinical precision.

Qualified: You must hold a Social Work England registration and a Degree in Social Work (or equivalent).
