Where We Work

Park Foster Care’s office is just outside Nantwich, almost next to Sainsbury’s which is handy to stock up in your lunch hour or if we run out of supplies in the office. Biscuits are great for a treat and with our mid morning coffee, but we do try and encourage Healthy Eating with our foster carers and children so there is always a bowl of seasonal fruit on offer.

We have a team of support staff who are based in the office the majority of the time answering the telephones and handling the administration, finance and operational activities. Our team of Supervising Social Workers are often out and about in the ‘field’, many work remotely in the area’s where they live supporting their foster carer households in their vicinity with visits, support groups, training courses and meetings with other professionals involved with the care of the child or young person being looked after.

We have a daily duty officer handling any enquiries for placements from local authorities and being a point of call for our foster carer households who may not be able to reach their Supervising Social Worker (they may be in a meeting or on holiday).  Out of hours Duty is also covered on a rota basis by our Supervising Social Workers so we literally cover 24 hours a day 365 days a year.

Geographically we focus on the North West, West and East Midlands, Staffordshire and parts of Leicestershire.  If you look at a map of the UK, you could almost draw a large circle with Nantwich in the centre which depicts quite neatly the radius we cover. We have foster carers within most of parts of our region and we are continually recruiting new households.

The office in Nantwich has two conference rooms (one large, the other more cosy) which we use for hosting training courses and meetings.  We also use these rooms for the Panel meeting which are usually held monthly.  Training and support groups are also held in other parts of the region on a monthly basis including Warrington, Walsall and Coventry.
