Contact & Liaison Officer Sheffield, England
Job description
SCC Fostering Service are looking to recruit a dynamic, energetic and motivated person who enjoys a daily challenge and thrives on working in a busy environment where no two days are the same!
The role of the CLO is to act as bridge between fostering social workers and foster carers so you need to be a keen asset in communication strategy.
You will need to have a cheerful character and a great ability to work in an often demanding and fast paced setting.
This role is a great opportunity to perform well where one week you may be helping to organise a fostering family event and, in another week, helping the service access equipment for a foster carer who has taken an emergency placement. The role is varied and ever changing.
It is an exciting opportunity where initiative, enthusiasm and great team sprit are key qualities we are looking for. It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.
We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.
It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.
Under the Disability Confident Scheme, disabled applicants, who meet the essential criteria of this job, are guaranteed an interview.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and vulnerable adults and expect all staff to share this commitment. All successful candidates will be required to complete an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check.
Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.
