We are looking for caring, patient and resilient people, to care for children and young people that are not able to live with their own families for a period of time.

Starting allowance range – £420 to £630 per child per week
Additional grants and allowances e.g. festival allowance and child summer holiday grant
Higher allowances are for children with additional needs such as parent and child placements, children with medical needs, or young offenders. Allowances will also increase with your level of experience.

Your own social worker to support you with fostering
