About Coram Ambitious for Adoption

Coram Ambitious for Adoption Regional Adoption Agency [RAA] is a commissioned Voluntary Adoption Agency delivering statutory adoption support services and family finding for a number of local authority partners.

The post holder will be employed by Coram, a service with a long track record of serving children well and outstanding ratings from Ofsted.
