Form F Assessors
Fosterplus are recruiting independent Form F Assessing Social Workers to help us assess new foster parents. Learn more about the role today.
Why become a Form F Assessor?
Finding amazing foster parents is fundamental for our commitment to changing the lives of children. We pride ourselves on matching families with the right children at Fosterplus, so are consistently recognised for the stability and longevity of the foster family placements we provide for young people.
We are always looking for nationwide Form F Assessors to help us complete fostering assessments on suitable families across the UK. We complete many of our assessments internally, however, the majority are completed by independent social workers who have contracts with the Polaris Community - a national community of fostering agencies that Fosterplus is a member of.
We offer market rates, including travel expenses, on a per-assessment basis. We also offer opportunities for consultation and practice development.
If you think you have the right skills and expertise to help us recruit foster parents, then please get in touch.
