The role of a foster carer
You don’t need any specific qualifications or experience to offer foster care, but you do need a stable loving home, a spare room and a commitment to promote children’s wellbeing, health and development.
In addition, the role involves:
- working closely with other professionals
- attending meetings
- training for foster care (including basic childcare training and specialist techniques)
In return, we offer a generous allowance to cover the cost of care, an additional fee and support and training.
