Capstone Foster Care is an independent fostering agency, helping our foster children to do just that!

You will have the unique opportunity to work for a company that is owned by it's employees, as an Employee Ownership Trust. Employee Ownership Trusts result in improved employee wellbeing, staff engagement and a sense of achievement. We are able to invest more in Learning and Development and pay all our staff annual salary increments.

As a Fostering Recruitment Advisor, you will be our first point of contact to potential foster carers by visiting them in their homes to initially assess whether they are suitable to foster and actively promoting the benefits of becoming a foster carer with Capstone. You will provide guidance and support and a positive and personal customer journey.

It is required to work independently to arrange and engage in recruitment activities within local communities to promote fostering with Capstone and identify and attend local events to increase foster carer enquiries.

The role will be home based but you will be required to travel across the South / South West region to visit with potential foster carers and take part in recruitment events.

What we are looking for in a Fostering Recruitment Advisor:

• Experience in sales or events planning role

• Motivation, determination and drive to secure and actively participate in recruitment events
• A warm, personable individual who can communicate with a vast cross section of our communities
• Flexibility to cover evening or weekend appointments when required
• Driving licence with access to transport

In return for your commitment, we offer:

• Excellent training and development opportunities

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you. Not only do we offer a great benefits package but also the training, support and development for you to excel in your role.

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people is enshrined within Capstone Foster Care policy and practice. We expect our employees to share this commitment with us. The successful candidate will be required to complete a DBS application.
