FOSTER CARER (MEDICAL & SEN)

Do you have a spare bedroom in your home for a child? Are you currently working or volunteering with people with additional needs, and perhaps are looking for a change of career or get a better work/life balance?
We are looking for people with specialist skills and experience who may be interested in fostering children with additional needs or medical issues.
Have you thought about becoming a fostering family for a child in need?

EXPERIENCE:

Full training is provided but any previous experience of being a parent, childminder, foster carer, or working with children or vulnerable adults can be beneficial. If you have limited experience don’t rule yourself out, come and talk to us.
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.

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.
