Our Helpline and expert advisers offer free, practical support to older people without enough money to live on. Through our grants programme, we support hundreds of local organisations working with older people across the UK.
We use the knowledge and insight gained from our support services and partnerships to highlight the issues experienced by older people in poverty and campaign for change.
We would love to find individuals from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds to join us on this journey.
Responsibilities and Person Specification:
This is a critical and influential role at Independent Age, reporting to the Head of Governance. The post holder will provide high-quality support across a broad and impactful portfolio, including risk management, procurement and contracts, governance, safeguarding and business continuity, helping to build a culture where accountability, learning and continuous improvement drive meaningful change.
Working closely with senior leaders and the Board, you will play an important role in enabling effective and confident decision-making across every level of the charity. This is an opportunity to contribute across a wide range of areas and to see the direct impact of your work on how the organisation functions and delivers its mission.
We are looking for someone with a genuine passion for risk management, alongside a strong understanding of not-for-profit governance best practice. You will also bring experience in at least one of the following areas: procurement, contracts management, third party contract risk, business continuity planning, policy management or safeguarding.
You will be an excellent communicator, confident working with senior stakeholders, with strong attention to detail and a proactive, can-do approach. Above all, you will take pride in getting things done efficiently and to a high standard and be motivated by the opportunity to work for a values-led organisation making a meaningful difference to older people.
This is a full-time role, 35 hours per week, which you can choose to work over five days or a 9-day fortnight.
If your experience doesn’t align perfectly with all of the above criteria but you do meet most of them and are excited about the role, we encourage you to apply anyway.
What it’s like to work at Independent Age:
We celebrate diversity at Independent Age and champion the differences that make each of us unique. We actively support and encourage people from a variety of backgrounds, experiences and skill sets to join us and help shape what we do.

We offer great benefits including 28 days annual leave plus public holidays, a generous pension scheme with life assurance, and fantastic learning and development opportunities. We also offer a number of enhanced leave provisions and benefits.
We know that a good work life balance helps us perform at our best and supports wellbeing. Flexible working hours and hybrid working is standard for all, but if you need a different form of flexibility, we are always happy to talk flexible working. Those contracted to work in the office are required to attend the office a minimum of 4 days per month. This role supports Board and committee meetings which may be held online or in the office, meaning availability to support with this is required.

Are you passionate about improving support for families affected by substance misuse? This could be the perfect role for you!
The Family Support Worker is an exciting position within a growing, dynamic team where you can make a real difference to the lives of unpaid carers in Lambeth.

Working across both our Young Carers and Adult Carers Services, you will provide holistic support to families affected by substance misuse through whole-family assessments and reviews.

We seek to limit these challenges through four core workstreams:
Raising awareness of carers and their invaluable contributions.
Influencing local policy through active community engagement.
Improving carer wellbeing through direct interventions.

We are looking for a Weekenders Journey Guide to support prospective Weekend Foster Carers from their first conversations with Now Foster through to the next stages of the recruitment and assessment journey.
This is a highly relational, candidate-facing role. You will be one of the main people helping applicants understand what Weekenders is, explore whether it is right for them, stay motivated through the process, and feel supported to take the next step.
Introductory conversations (our ‘intro chats’) will be a core part of the role. You will speak with people who are curious about fostering, but who may also feel unsure, nervous or are still working out whether they can foster. Your role will be to bring warmth, clarity and momentum: helping people feel welcomed, informed and confident, while also making sure the right people progress at the right pace.
You will use Now Foster’s digital platform (a bespoke CRM system) to manage the candidate journey, track progress, record key information and help the team understand where applicants are getting stuck or moving forward. You will play an important role in making sure we are attracting the right leads, supporting them well, and learning how to improve the journey as we grow.
This role would particularly suit someone with experience of fostering or working in fostering. It could also suit someone from a related background who is deeply motivated by innovation in this area and excited by what fostering could look like if it were designed around children, carers and relationships.
You do not need to be a qualified social worker, but you do need to be emotionally mature, reflective, organised and comfortable working closely with a social work-led team. You will need to understand safeguarding, and be confident holding thoughtful conversations with prospective carers.
What You’ll Be Doing
Supporting candidates through the journey
Acting as a consistent, warm and encouraging point of contact for prospective Weekend Foster Carers.
Carrying out intro chats with people who have expressed interest in the Weekenders programme.
Helping candidates understand the Weekenders programme, what the role involves, and what the journey looks like.
Supporting candidates to reflect on whether Weekenders is right for them.
Keeping candidates engaged, informed and motivated as they move through the process.
Helping people overcome practical barriers where appropriate, while being honest and clear about expectations.
Making sure candidate communication feels relational, timely and values-led.
Helping the right people progress
Helping identify candidates who are ready to move forward, as well as those who may need more time, more information or a different route.
Support candidates to progress, pause or close, as advised by our fostering service colleagues.
Using strengths-based and motivational approaches to help candidates reflect on their motivations, support networks and capacity.
Working closely with social work colleagues to escalate questions, concerns or safeguarding issues appropriately.
Supporting candidates to prepare for training, home visits and assessment stages.
Helping ensure the process is clear, efficient and supportive.
Supporting groups, events and community activity
Supporting information events, training sessions and candidate-facing events.
Co-delivering sessions with social workers and other colleagues.
Helping create a welcoming community for people exploring Weekenders.
Supporting socials and community-building activity for applicants and approved Weekend Foster Carers.
Helping candidates connect with the mission and feel part of something meaningful.
Administration, data and follow-up
Keeping candidate records, notes and next steps up to date on Now Foster’s digital platform.
Using Google Workspace, Trello and other tools to access key documents and manage your workload.
Making sure no candidate falls through the cracks.
Supporting data capture so the team can understand what is working and where candidates are getting stuck.
Helping improve templates, messages, prompts and workflows for the candidate journey.
Supporting home visit admin and logistics where needed.
Contributing to innovation and learning
Gathering feedback from candidates to help improve the journey and bringing this insight from candidate conversations into team discussions.
Helping the team understand what motivates people to become Weekend Foster Carers, what worries them, and what helps them move forward.
Supporting testing and iteration of new candidate journey approaches.
Helping us build a process that is warm, efficient, inclusive and effective.
Contributing to a new model of fostering that is relational, ambitious and designed around children and young people.
You’ll Thrive in This Role If You Are
Warm and relational – able to build trust quickly and make people feel welcome.
Emotionally mature – able to have thoughtful conversations about motivation, care, family life and uncertainty.
A strong communicator – clear, encouraging and confident across phone, video calls, emails and written updates.
Motivational and strengths-based – skilled at helping people see their potential while also being honest about what fostering involves.
Organised and proactive – able to manage a busy candidate journey, track next steps and keep people moving.
Tech-savvy – comfortable using digital platforms, Google Workspace and Trello.
Confident in your judgement – able to decide when someone should progress, pause or close, while knowing when to seek advice.
Safeguarding-aware – able to recognise when something needs to be escalated and comfortable working within clear safeguarding processes.
Reflective and curious – interested in learning what works and improving the candidate journey over time.
Comfortable with ambiguity – happy working in a small, growing charity where things are evolving.
Committed to better outcomes for children and young people – motivated by Now Foster’s mission and the potential of Weekenders.
Experience We’re Looking For
Fostering experience would be highly beneficial. For example, this could include experience as a foster carer, working in fostering, supporting foster carers, working with fostering services, or working in a closely related part of children’s social care.
We are also interested in people with experience in:
Volunteer management
Children’s social care or youth work
Community work
Social prescribing
Mentoring or coaching
Recruitment, onboarding or candidate support
Relationship-based support roles
Most importantly, we are looking for someone who understands the importance of relationships, can guide people through a meaningful decision-making process, and is excited by the possibility of building a different kind of fostering journey.
Bonus Points For
Lived experience of the care system or fostering.
Experience working directly with prospective or approved foster carers.
Experience using motivational interviewing, coaching or strengths-based approaches.
Experience supporting people through an application, recruitment, assessment or onboarding journey.
Experience delivering or supporting information sessions, preparation groups, training or community events.
Experience working remotely or in a flexible, fast-moving team.
An interest in innovation, service design or changing how fostering works.
About Us
Now Foster is a team of innovative social workers, designers, and entrepreneurs on a mission to change fostering in the UK.
We bring together social work, service design, public sector transformation and lived experience to create better outcomes for children and young people. Our overarching vision is to transform the fostering system by bringing many more wonderful people into it as foster carers, so that children and young people have the relationships, stability and support they need to thrive.
You will be joining a small, ambitious and passionate team, alongside our trustees, freelancers and advisors, all of whom play an active part in shaping our work. We partner with local authorities and not-for-profits who share our values and are ready to embrace change. As a registered charity, everything we do is driven by purpose, not profit.
About Weekenders
Weekenders is Now Foster’s flagship programme. It pairs children and young people in foster care with inspiring adults who can offer guidance, stability and encouragement on a regular basis. It is about showing up, making a difference, and being that person a young person can count on.
The programme is growing quickly. We are scaling Weekenders across London and beyond, testing new ways to support applicants, local authorities and independent social workers, and building the operational foundations needed for long-term growth.
A core part of this growth is making sure that people who are interested in becoming Weekend Foster Carers receive the right balance of warmth, encouragement, information and challenge as they move through the journey. That is where the Journey Guide comes in.
Working Pattern and Location
This role is offered at 4 to 5 days per week, with a salary of £34,000 pro rata.
The role can be based anywhere in England, with occasional travel to our Weekender delivery areas. Our Weekenders team is currently based across London and Manchester, and our wider organisational team is based in Oxford. Most work will be home-based, but there will be some in-person meetings, events, training sessions or bi-monthly co-working days.
The role will involve some work outside standard office hours. This is likely to include:
Around one weekend day per month, which you would take back as time off during the previous or following week.
Some evening work, for example around one information event per month.
Some evening intro chats with prospective foster carers, where this helps people engage with the process.
We work flexibly and will support the successful candidate to manage their time in a sustainable way.
Safeguarding
Now Foster is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
This role will involve contact with prospective carers, rather than direct work with children and young people. However, you will need to understand safeguarding, work within Now Foster’s safeguarding processes, and escalate any concerns appropriately.
This role will require an enhanced DBS check.
What’s In It For You
Joining Now Foster means being part of something different. We are small, ambitious and innovative, and you will play a key role in helping Weekenders grow.
You will be close to the people exploring whether they could become Weekend Foster Carers, and your work will directly shape whether they feel supported, confident and ready to take the next step.
You will join a supportive, collaborative and values-led team. We work hard, care deeply about what we do, and are building something bold and lasting: a new way of fostering that blends social work, design, technology and relational practice.
We will provide the tools and technology you need, cover agreed travel and expenses, and support you to work flexibly within the rhythm of the programme.
How to Apply
Please send us your CV and a short cover letter explaining:
Why you are interested in Now Foster and the Weekenders programme.
The experience you would bring in supporting, guiding or motivating people.
Any experience you have of fostering, working in fostering, children’s social care, community work, volunteer management or similar.
What excites you about innovation in fostering and what fostering could look like.
Your availability, including whether you are looking for 4 or 5 days per week and when you could start.
You must have the right to work in the UK.

About Quest for Learning
Quest for Learning is an education charity working to close the gap for primary school children in Oxfordshire who are falling behind due to disadvantage.
We work closely with schools to deliver targeted, evidence-led literacy and numeracy programmes that help children build the skills, confidence and foundations they need to thrive.

Our programmes are delivered by experienced professional tutors and are built around structured interventions, strong school partnerships and measurable outcomes. On average, pupils supported through our small-group tutoring make around 13 months of progress in just 10 hours of support.
