Ready to ScanRole Overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen to lead the development and implementation of an approach to contact for children placed for adoption with their birth families and significant others.
This work has been shaped in collaboration with all organisations within the National Adoption Service (NAS) and is grounded in the Welsh legislative context.
It will particularly appeal to practitioners with experience in planning, supporting and reviewing adoption and contact arrangements, as well as those who have contributed to related development work.
Rooted in the principle that maintaining relationships and a sense of identity is vital for all adopted children, we are keen to encourage innovation and creativity to ensure that contact arrangements remain child-centred and responsive to individual needs.
As part of the ongoing modernisation of adoption services in Wales—and with a growing number of children having plans for direct contact—this is a pivotal time for both adoption and children’s services.
There is a clear need to strengthen and develop support for these arrangements as children grow and their needs evolve.
We are seeking applications from experienced practitioners who have a strong understanding of adoption services and care planning, and who can build effective working relationships with a wide range of professionals and agencies.
Linked to the NAS Central Team in Cardiff but working across Wales with regional teams, local authorities and voluntary adoption agencies, the successful post holder will play a key role in supporting regional implementation of new and ongoing arrangements
