Complete complex assessments of adoptive applicants and present well-written Prospective Adopter Reports to the Adoption Panel. Plan and deliver preparation and training sessions for adoptive applicants. Support applicants through matching and placement processes. Participate in planning, facilitating, and running training events. Work collaboratively as part of a committed team, contributing to service development. Attend team meetings, service meetings, and working groups as required. Deliver training for staff and adoptive applicants. Participate in regional and national adoption events.
