Role:

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. The child will live in your home as part of your family whilst you work as part of a team to support them through a difficult time of their life.

There is a 4-6 month assessment process with checks and references required including DBS (police). There is also free initial training during this process.

Remuneration:

You do not get a salary as a foster carer but a weekly allowance is paid when you have a child or young person living with you. This is to cover the costs of caring for a child e.g. food, clothing, pocket money etc.
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.

Other Benefits:

Initial and regular, ongoing training to support your role as a foster carer
Your own social worker to support you with fostering
24/7 telephone support
support groups/social meetings for foster carers locally to get to know each other
