🚨 Exciting Opportunity at Adoption West 🚨

Adoption West is developing a brand-new Multidisciplinary Team to enhance the therapeutic support available to adopted children and their families across the region.

We are now recruiting experienced and passionate Therapeutic Social Workers to join this exciting new service, working alongside clinical psychologists and other therapeutic professionals to deliver trauma-informed support where it matters most. 💛

This innovative team is part of a national initiative designed to improve and expand adoption support services. Initially funded for 18 months, there is a strong local and national ambition to establish this as a permanent part of our service.

This is a unique opportunity to:
✨ Deliver therapeutic, trauma-informed support to adopted children and families
✨ Work as part of a pioneering multidisciplinary team
✨ Contribute to early intervention and improved outcomes for children
✨ Develop your skills within an innovative and supportive service
✨ Make a lasting difference in the lives of adoptive families

We are looking for a qualified and experienced social worker with a strong understanding of attachment, developmental trauma, and the challenges that adopted children and families may face. You'll be passionate about therapeutic practice and committed to helping families thrive.

If you are looking for an opportunity to be part of an innovative new service and make a meaningful impact, we’d love to hear from you.

🚨 More Children Need Adoptive Families – Could You Be the Difference? 🚨

Right now, children are waiting for the safety, stability, and love that only a permanent family can provide.

The need for adoptive families has never been greater, and we urgently need more people to come forward and explore whether adoption could be right for them.

💛 Join one of our Adoption Information Sessions and discover how you could change a child's life – and your own.

Why Attend?

Our friendly, no-obligation sessions are designed to give you the information you need to make an informed decision. You'll have the opportunity to:

✨ Learn about the adoption process
✨ Meet experienced adoption professionals
✨ Hear real experiences from adoptive families
✨ Ask questions in a welcoming and supportive environment
✨ Find out about the ongoing support available to adopters

The Impact of Adoption

Many people rule themselves out before finding out what's really involved. You don't need to have all the answers today – you just need to be willing to learn more.

A child is waiting for someone to take that first step.

🏳️‍🌈⚧️
There’s no one way to build a family; what matters most is love, curiosity, stability, and a safe place to grow. Same-sex couples have so much love to give, and thousands of children are waiting for just that.

Whether you're dreaming of late-night stories, first steps, or simply making a difference in a child’s life, adoption is one powerful way to create a beautiful future together.

✨ Families come in all forms. Let yours change a life.

Meet Craig & Daniel 👋
Last year, they adopted their daughter through Early Permanence - a unique route to adoption that changed all their lives forever.

💬 “Our daughter was nine weeks old when she moved in; it was quick, but it felt so right.”

So, what is Early Permanence?
It’s a way of placing babies and young children with potential adopters at the earliest possible stage, often before court decisions about their future are finalised. This gives children the chance to form loving, secure attachments right from the beginning, avoiding multiple moves in care.

For Craig & Daniel, it meant being there for their daughter from the very start of her journey.

👉 Want to find out more about Early Permanence and whether it could be right for you?
Start exploring today - your future family could be closer than you think.

💛 Right now in the UK, hundreds of children are waiting for more than a home — they’re waiting for love, stability and belonging.

Adoption is about building futures, strengthening families, and giving children the chance to feel safe, chosen and deeply loved.

You don’t need to be married, wealthy, or have everything figured out.

What matters most is:
✨ Love
✨ Stability
✨ Patience
✨ A willingness to advocate
✨ The courage to be someone’s safe place

If you have room in your heart and home, consider adoption.
