Foster Carer

Overview

This is a home based role caring for vulnerable children or young people who will live with you in your home. You will need an available spare bedroom to be considered.

F5 Foster Care recruits, assesses, and trains potential Foster Carers to provide the right support and security for these children. We offer generous weekly fees and allowances while a child is in placement, along with a high-quality training and support package. Personal social workers guide you through assessment and support your fostering career. Additional benefits include membership to Foster Talk and access to discounts.

Essential criteria you must meet

• You are happy to attend various training and support groups
• You have gained some form of child care experience (not necessarily with your own children)
• You have at least one permanently available spare bedroom
• You have the ability to transport any children in your care to school/contact/meetings (ideally you will have access to a car)
• You don’t have a police record for violence or any offences towards children
• You have a passion for providing care and support to children and young people
• You will not be solely reliant upon the income from fostering (as there may be times between placements or waiting for your first where you do not have a child in placement with you)
• You can speak and write confidently in English
