Are you passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of vulnerable children in Wiltshire? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join our Kinship and Fostering team to enhance the quality of care and increase the number of foster carers across Wiltshire.

As a Recruitment Support Worker, you will be an integral part of a dedicated sub-team responsible for our 'recruitment front door' and placement finding services. Your contributions will help improve foster carer retention, leading to a broader range of foster placements and greater placement stability.
