Foster Carer

Fed up with your current job? Looking for flexibility? Want to work from home?

Have you thought of fostering? Transfer your skills to us!

We are seeking to recruit new and existing foster carers to join our small family-run independent fostering agency, providing care for children and young people. We have various different types of fostering opportunities available ranging from part-time respite, short and long term fostering, children with disabilities and parent and child support within your home.

To be successful you’ll need to be a caring, empathetic and a patient person, be committed to developing as a foster carer and have time to devote to one or more children. You don't need to own your house or need to be in a relationship to apply. You will need a flexible approach and a good sense of humour!

In addition, you must:

• have a spare bedroom
• be at least 21 years of age (there is no upper age limit)
• live in the Midlands region
• have some experience of caring for or working with children (you don’t have to have your own children)
• be in good general health
• have good spoken and written English language

In return, we offer generous allowances plus a huge amount of training and support including:

• monthly visits from an experienced supervising social worker
• 24/7 telephone advice/support
• support and guidance from family support workers
• excellent training and development opportunities
• respite relief/holiday cover when needed
• events for foster carers to meet up and share experiences
