About Us

Coram is committed to improving the lives of the UK’s most vulnerable children and young people. We support children and young people from birth to independence, creating a change that lasts a lifetime. Coram is the UK’s oldest children’s charity founded by Thomas Coram in London helping vulnerable children and young people since 1739. Today, the Coram group helps more than one million children, young people, families and professionals every year by providing access to the skills and opportunities they need to thrive. With a 40-year history, CoramBAAF is the leading professional membership body in the UK for family placement practice. It is dedicated to improving the outcomes of children and young people in care by supporting the UK wide community of agencies which work with them. CoramBAAF is accountable to its own board of directors and operates to support and represent members, champion best practice and provide high quality policy and practice guidance, advice, training and resources. CoramBAAF is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all sections of the community. We actively encourage applicants from Asian, African, Caribbean and other minority ethnic backgrounds to join our teams. Whilst we have a diverse team we recognize we are a predominantly white workforce and are genuinely committed to encouraging candidates from diverse communities in order to improve the services to the children and families we help. We are committed to the safeguarding of children and where appropriate will require the successful applicant to undertake a check from the Disclosure and Barring Service.
