Could you offer a local child or children a secure and nurturing home?

We are looking for Foster Carers who can provide care for children and young people in Salford with enhanced care needs. These children need more than just good care they need time, patience, understanding, and someone who won’t give up on them.

What Is Enhanced Fostering?

Enhanced fostering is for children aged up to 18yrs who may have experienced multiple moves, trauma, or disruption in their lives. They will do well with in family alongside other children or with their siblings, sometimes they may also have a sibling who also has enhanced care needs or one that doesn’t, the role is key, a therapeutic figure in their recovery and development.

Emotional resilience and a calm approach in stressful situations
Understanding of trauma, attachment, or behaviour support
Experience supporting children with mental health, SEN, or complex needs
Strong communication and teamworking skills
An ability to set boundaries and build trusting, consistent relationships
Most importantly, time, space, availability, and empathy

You must have a spare bedroom and live in or near Salford.

What the Role Involves:

Providing a stable, safe, and nurturing home environment.
Supporting the child’s education, healthcare, and emotional development.
Advocating for the child and amplifying their voice.
Facilitating time with birth family.

Working as part of a team with social workers, teachers, and other professionals

Helping a child heal and thrive after trauma

What You’ll Receive:

You’ll be valued as a professional and supported every step of the way:
Weekly fostering allowances tax free
Full preparation and therapeutic training
24/7 on-call support service
Regular supervision from your own dedicated fostering social worker
Peer support groups and buddying with other carers
