That gives us the benefit of over 30 years of fostering experience, and we're still going strong. The founder members recognised that looked-after children - especially those who had very difficult starts in life - needed specialist support.

In fact, that's what ISP means: Integrated Services Programme. Over time, this circle of support has expanded to include a wide range of professionals that children and foster parents can access whenever they need to. This includes social workers, fostering advisors, teachers and therapists, who all work together to support foster parents and the children they care for. This is known as a 'therapeutic approach' to fostering, and it is something that we pioneered.

In this role, you will support the education of children across the South region, offering guidance and support to foster carers, schools, teachers and a wide network of professionals working with ISP children.
