Contract role
 Vitalis are recruiting for an experienced Social Worker to work in a Fostering team in Tameside Council.

We are embarking on an ambitious and inspiring journey to remodel and strengthen our fostering service — and we’re looking for experienced, dynamic Social Workers who are ready to make a real impact. This is a unique opportunity to be at the heart of positive change, shaping the way we support children and families across our community.
As part of our dedicated fostering duty function, you will play a leading role in completing Regulation 24 assessments, viabilities, and kinship checks, ensuring these are completed swiftly, safely, and with confidence. We want to take the lead in driving high standards, reducing delays, and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to remain safely within their family network wherever possible. We want to be responsive, forward thinking and truly centred around keeping children connected to the people who know and love them.
You’ll be joining a team that is passionate about innovation, committed to high‑quality practice, and energised by the challenge of doing things differently. You will be supported by a service that values your expertise and encourages professional development.
