BECOME A FOSTER CARER AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO A CHILD'S LIFE We would like you to join us and be part of a friendly, multi-skilled and highly valued team. We offer: EXCELLENT PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS Our payments and benefits reflect the value we place on our foster carers. Payments range from £380 to £710 per week, per child plus generous holiday and birthday allowances. See our payments section for more information. OUTSTANDING TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT We provide excellent training and development programmes to help and equip you in your role as a foster carer. CARING FOR LOCAL CHILDREN We need local people to care for local children so that they can continue to maintain links with their friends, family, and schools in their local community. LOCAL SUPPORT There are plenty of opportunities to meet up with other foster carers through support groups and our buddy scheme so you won't feel isolated.
