Are you a skilled and dedicated social worker eager to apply your expertise and experience to a new role? Do you want to be part of a supportive and collaborative team at one of the UK’s most successful adoption charities, rated outstanding by Ofsted since 2014?
With your social work experience you will support birth relatives whose children have a plan for adoption or have been placed for adoption. Working closely with colleagues in Buckinghamshire Council who refer the relatives to PACT, you will provide support through individual, support groups and drop-in sessions.
This will include supporting birth relatives to meet with adoptive parents and to help them understand the importance for children, to keep connected to significant people from their past.
Ideally, you’ll have experience of working with birth relatives and have a good understanding of the adoption process. You’ll work with relatives from a range of diverse backgrounds, lived experiences and who may be neuro diverse and will need to demonstrate understanding, respectfulness and adaptability.
