About Rainbow

At Rainbow, we believe every child deserves safety, stability, and the opportunity to thrive.

We’re an Ofsted Outstanding-rated independent fostering agency supporting vulnerable children and young people across the UK, including children in care and unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. Every day, we work to create safe, nurturing homes and brighter futures for young people who need them most.

We’re also an AI-first fostering agency, one of the first in the sector. Some of the most interesting companies being built right now are services businesses that use AI to do more, better, and faster than was previously possible. We think children’s services are exactly that kind of opportunity. Fostering will always be a deeply human business; the relationships between social workers, carers, and children are what matter and always will. But the operational work that surrounds those relationships, matching, referrals, coordination, and reporting, is where AI lets a small, ambitious team punch well above its weight. That’s the bet we’re making.

We’re now looking for ambitious, curious, and motivated individuals to join us as a Growth & Operations Associate, a unique early‑career opportunity for someone who wants to develop commercial and leadership skills while creating real social impact.

This role is ideal for candidates interested in:

• Business operations
• Growth and strategy
• Partnerships and stakeholder management
• Recruitment or client-facing work
• Social impact and purpose-driven careers

You do not need prior experience in fostering or social care. We’ll teach you the sector; what matters most is your mindset, communication skills, and willingness to learn.
