Social Worker Fostering and Kinship Team

Achieving for Children was created by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames in 2014, and since then has been commissioned to deliver children’s services on behalf of both local authorities. In August 2017, the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead became a third owner of the company.  Our Independent Fostering Agency (IFA) was created in August 2018 and the Kingston and Richmond Branch was inspected in June 2023 and achieved a “Good” rating in all areas.  The Windsor and Maidenhead branch of the IFA was inspected and approved as a branch in June 2021 with a “Good” rating.AfC offers flexible hybrid working. We are looking for an experienced social worker with good assessment, communication and report writing skills, and the motivation to achieve excellent standards in contributing to the development of our service. You will ideally have experience of working with mainstream and/or connected carers, completing a variety of assessments including special guardianship, as well as experience supervising carers. Our fostering service has a strong focus on stability and permanency for the children we care for.
