What will I be doing?
We’re working to improve the lives of children in Somerset – and you’ll be a key part of that helping a team of social workers who assess potential Kinship and foster carers. Your day-to-day work will involve:
* Processing fostering and Kinship applications
* Taking telephone calls

* Updating our database system with client details
* Supporting Social Workers and Operational staff with day to day IT and admin queries
What kind of experience or qualifications do I need?
We offer ongoing support, training and guidance to help you be the best you can be. But it will really help if you:
* Are passionate about helping to improve the lives of vulnerable children and young people living in Somerset.
* have a warm, friendly, non-judgemental manner in order to help the families we support feel comfortable. You will need to be calm and kind in difficult situations and conversations.
* Have experience working in an office environment
* Know your way around Microsoft 365 (especially Word, MS Teams and Excel) and are comfortable using databases
* Can deal with changing and competing deadlines and priorities (not everybody can, and that’s ok – but it’s super important in a role like this one)
* Are educated to GCSE Grade 4 (C ) or above standard in English and Maths.
