Caroline – Senior Practitioner

My name is Caroline,
I started working at UK Fostering in September 2024 as a Senior Practitioner. Before for this I have worked in a local Authority fostering team doing assessments, training and support, with a specialism in Kinship Foster Care. Prior to this I worked for 3 years in child protection. I qualified as a social worker in 2015 and prior to this working in early help, after school clubs, schools and nursery setting with children who have additional needs. I have also nannied abroad and most of my career has revolved around children and family work. After lots of different roles I found fostering and know this is where I am meant to be.

I work in the northwest office and will often be found being closely followed by my dog Dot, who is our team mascot, and unofficial team therapy dog. She loves meeting people and is always up for a cuddle. Outside of work I love to do crafts of all kinds and attempting some DIY as well. I run a stitch and chat group and attend a number of other craft groups.
