Foster Carer
Location:
South West
Becoming a foster carer is not only an amazing way to help a child but can also be a rewarding experience for the right person.
Our client is looking for people like YOU to help make a difference to children across the South West by becoming a local council foster carer. Their fostering community is made up of passionate, caring, and experienced people of all ages and backgrounds, united by the desire to make a difference to a child in need. They believe that fostering can be a hugely rewarding but sometimes challenging journey, but with the support of South West's team, you are never alone.
As a local council foster carer in the South West, you will be paid by the local council you are fostering for and given an allowance to cover the costs associated with caring for the child, including food, clothing, toiletries, and other necessities. You will get to meet lots of other foster carers, social workers, and people who are enthusiastic about transforming the lives of children in their care.
The organisation is your gateway to local council fostering, representing 15 local councils across the South West. They will support you to progress your application through your chosen local council.
The Role
Being a foster carer means caring for a child as part of your family, providing a safe and loving home while the child's own family cannot look after them. The arrangements can vary, with placements lasting for a day, a week, a month, a year, or sometimes until the child reaches the age of 18. As a foster carer, you will focus on the day-to-day care for the child, supporting them, managing their behaviour, and working with the wider support team. Foster carers also help facilitate regular meetings between the child and their birth family, if appropriate.
Responsibilities
Provide a safe and nurturing environment for the children and young people you care for.
Help them grow and develop, forming a positive attachment.
Attend training sessions and participate in ongoing professional development.
Collaborate with the team around the child, including social workers, educators, and healthcare professionals.
Take care of the child's practical day-to-day needs, such as school drop-offs and emotional support.
Skills and Qualifications
You don't need specific qualifications to become a foster carer. It's not necessary to have children of your own, be in a relationship, or own your own home. What truly matters is your ability to support, nurture, and care for children who cannot live with their own families.
