Social Worker or Senior Social Worker, Adoption Team – closing date 11 December 2023

Are you a talented and committed social worker looking for a new challenge? Could you become a vital part of the supportive and collaborative team at one of the UK’s most successful adoption charities, rated outstanding by Ofsted since 2014?

At PACT we are genuinely passionate about helping families thrive. We believe that every child deserves a loving and supportive home and we are committed to providing the highest quality services to help make that a reality.

We support children and families from diverse backgrounds. With access to our specialist therapeutic support services, we are proud to provide excellent lifetime support for our families’ adoption journeys.

Our adoption teams focus on assessing prospective adopters who can consider early permanence and/or adopting a wide range of children of all ages, sibling groups, from diverse ethnicities and with disabilities.

You will manage all aspects of work from the early stages of recruitment, information sharing meetings, assessment, preparation and training, through to successful placement and post placement support up to the making of the adoption order.

Ideally, you will have experience of completing PARs, or similar such as Form Fs, and/or experience in family finding activity for children requiring permanence.
