Do you want to be part of a revolutionary new approach to fostering?
Social adVentures is launching a pioneering fostering model that opens up fostering opportunities to more people than ever before. For too long, many potential foster carers have been held back by not having a suitable home environment. Our innovative project overcomes that barrier — making fostering more accessible, inclusive, and life-changing for young people and families.

As our Fostering & Business Support Coordinator, you’ll play a central role in making this vision a reality. This is a varied and rewarding role, providing administrative and organisational support across three key areas:

• Fostering Administration (60%) – supporting recruitment, assessments, panel preparation, training events, and record-keeping to Ofsted standards.
• Alternative Education Administration (20%) – handling referrals, liaising with schools and local authorities, and maintaining pupil data.
• General Business Support (20%) – office admin, data input, scanning, and supporting light online marketing (website updates, newsletters, social media).

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Highly organised, IT-confident, and detail-focused.
• An excellent communicator who can work with carers, schools, and colleagues.
• Motivated by being part of a transformational project that will change lives.

In return, we offer:

• The chance to be part of a sector-leading initiative with real social impact.
• A friendly, supportive team environment.
• Ongoing training and professional development.

Join us in shaping the future of fostering — and help us remove barriers so more children can find the loving homes they deserve.
