About the Role
Ealing Fostering Recruitment finds foster carers for local children who are unable to live with their families. These children come from many different ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds. When a child needs to leave the family home they will first be placed with a foster carer and later will either return home or move on to permanently live with a long-term foster carer or adopter.

Recruiting foster carers has never been more challenging and we need to be proactive and creative to find more people in the local community to become foster carers for Ealing, to look after the children in our care.

- Managing and developing the fostering recruitment website, including blogs and news, and social media accounts by producing regular posts and improving engagement and followers
- Working with a number of different services, teams, senior managers and stakeholders

The successful applicant will need to be able to work on their own initiative, be enthusiastic, committed and enjoy a challenge. Regular supervision will be offered.

You must have the right to work in the UK. Evidence for the right to work will be requested at the interview stage.
