Each one deserves a home where they will be loved, nurtured and enabled to thrive, whether that’s through short-term or long-term foster care, with a new adoptive family, or through supported lodgings. All children and young people should be able to grow up in the family and setting that is right for them. Some may be able to live with friends or family members (which is known as kinship care or private fostering), many will need a foster family, and some will go on to be placed for adoption. Fostering services need to recruit 8,100 new carers this year to meet this need and to account for carers who will retire In almost half of all placement decisions, social workers have no choice in foster carers at all According to the most recent figures, almost 3,000 children are waiting for adoption 27% of children have been waiting for more than 18 months 80% of looked after children live in foster care, but there is currently a shortage of foster carers with the right skills in the right locations God calls us to respond. Throughout the Bible we are reminded of God’s heart for the vulnerable, and particularly those without a family to love and protect them. "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families." Psalm 68:6 The Bible uses the terms 'fatherless' and 'orphans' to describe children who did not have the stability and protection of a family. In contemporary culture we do not use these terms, but we recognise that children coming into care are also in need of stability and protection. As God’s children, adopted into His great family, we are called to care for the vulnerable as part of our worship, to defend those unable to defend themselves, and to seek justice on their behalf. “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.” James 1:27 “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless.” Isaiah 1:17 Children in care are amongst the most vulnerable people in our society. They need advocates. They need champions. They need families. Home for Good Brief Description of Organisation Every fifteen minutes in the UK, a child will come into care. Many will have suffered neglect or abuse, all will experience trauma and loss. Each one deserves a home where they will be loved, nurtured and enabled to thrive, whether that’s through short-term or long-term foster care, with a new adoptive family, or through supported lodgings.

    Job opportunity at Your Park Bristol & Bath - Green Space Diversity, Inclusion & Participation Consultant Previous Job Next Job Your Park Bristol & Bath is a young charity responsible for increasing access to and engagement with Bristol and Bath parks and green spaces. Addressing inequalities and supporting disadvantaged groups is key to our strategy. However, to truly address the deep-rooted inequities and understand if our green spaces are welcoming to all, we need the time and space to undertake a thorough review of our early work and approach, consult strategically and build on our existing partnerships with community organisations. Our early pilot projects have demonstrated there is desire for underrepresented communities to access their park if supported to do so. This is reflected in Groundwork's May 2021 report 'Out of Bounds' which found 'a clear appetite for inclusion and nature connection among groups that currently experience barriers to spending time in urban, green, and blue spaces.' These groups need support to overcome barriers experienced due to religion, race, age, disability, gender and LGBTQI+ identity. Funded by Quartet Community Foundation’s Resilience Fund, your review and consultations with stakeholders and others will help us take stock and will inform our future direction. You will help us define how we will reach a more diverse range of communities to support them to realise the associated benefits of regular access to green spaces and nature, close to home. What you will deliver You will deliver on the ground research to identify and understand our target communities and prepare a report and plan that has specific recommendations on strategy, partnerships, representation, deliverables and resources. This plan will be used to ensure we provide equal opportunities and effectively engage with groups that are underrepresented in green spaces across all of our work, helping us become one of the leaders in improving access to green space. It will shape our projects over the next 3 years and will be used to evidence the need for our work when applying for future funding. You will: Review the latest research on inequities in parks and green spaces Review and evaluate our projects and approach Hold conversations with local, national and international (Canada & USA) projects to find best practice Consult with existing park volunteers and users Build on existing partnerships and develop new strategic partners with key local organisations Identify and work with 4 partners supporting our target audiences to understand local barriers, issues and motivations. Work with the Councils to make recommendations that ensure social equity is at the forefront of policy and practice and embedded in community consultation. Identify specific steps we can take with our target communities to enable us to act on what the research tells us. Develop a recommendations report supported by an activity and resource plan for the next 3-years Develop an impact reporting framework Report to our funders, Quartet Community Foundation, at the end of the project Role Profile Reports to: Director Line management responsibility: None Contract: freelance rate of £250/day including expenses for 2 days/week for 4 months.
