We are looking for Freelance Form F Assessors to join the National Fostering Group. Due to the current circumstances and the flexibility of holding meetings online, we are more than happy to receive applications from people based anywhere in the UK!

Here at the National Fostering Group we regularly recruit qualified Social Workers to carry out Foster Carers' Form F assessments.  Due to recent social and economic changes we are experiencing an increase in demand and as a result are looking to substantially increase our intake of Freelance Form F Assessors this year.

The Group

We are the National Fostering Group – the UK’s largest independent fostering family.

Our highly skilled and dedicated fostering community supports Local Authorities by providing short or long-term foster placements for thousands of vulnerable children and teenagers throughout the UK. With 100% of our 26 regional fostering agencies officially recognised by Ofsted, Welsh and Scottish regulators as either ‘Outstanding’ or ‘Good’, it is perhaps not surprising that more people choose to foster with our fostering agencies than any other fostering provider in the UK.

With friendly and helpful teams throughout our organisation, we can provide you with the support you need to fulfil this role to an optimum standard.

The ideal candidate will be experienced in conducting Form F Assessments, self-motivated and share our ongoing commitment to providing excellence in the quality placements we provide for the children and young people in our care.

• Experienced in carrying out Form F Assessments
• Proven ability to work independently, to a high standard, and within given time scales

We require experienced Freelance Form F Assessors throughout the UK.
