Additional Information
We would like to recruit people who are patient, understanding, compassionate and flexible (and with a sense of humour!) and who have time and space in their lives to devote to a child / young person’s needs.
Trusts want to find the right foster home for each child / young person first time round. A shortage of foster carers may result in children / young people living with foster carers outside their local area, having to travel significant distances to school, being far away from their family and friends, and sometimes split from their siblings.
By recruiting a wide pool of foster carers Trusts can place children / young people within their own area with foster carers who best meet their individual needs.
You can apply to foster whether:
- you are married, have a partner or are single
- you have children of your own or not
- you are in employment or are claiming benefits
- you own or rent your home
We welcome enquiries irrespective of your race, religion, language, culture, gender, disability, age, and sexual orientation.
Our foster carers receive financial allowances, ongoing training and 24 hour social work support.
