About the Company

The London Boroughs of Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster, Brent, Hillingdon, Harrow, Hounslow, and Ealing have created a joint fostering recruitment service: Foster with West London (FwWL).
Our vision is to have more children we care for living in West London with high-quality, supported foster carers, delivering improved long-term outcomes for children.
We want to ensure that West London attracts suitable Foster Carers who can provide the highest standard of care to children in care in West London, with the Hub working to increase and enhance placement choice locally.
Foster with West London leads on the recruitment and assessment of foster carers on behalf of eight Local Authorities.
The fostering recruitment hub (FwWL) is part of a Department for Education funded fostering recruitment and retention programme, operational since May 2024.
We are fair, caring, collaborators, and driven.
We believe an inclusive workplace is about the visibility and representation of our local diverse community - it is about open and transparent decision making co-produced with staff and residents.
It is about respect for diversity and a shared identity that seeks to encourage fair and transparent recruitment, retention, and career progression.
We take a proactive approach to equity, diversity, and inclusion so that it is part of the fabric of the Council with a shared understanding of the role all colleagues play in realising the inclusivity of the workplace.
At H&F, our workplace ensures that everybody has equitable access to opportunities.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults.
We are a Disability Confident Employer – committed to ensuring that our recruitment and selection process is inclusive and accessible.
