Foster Carer

Are you looking for a change of career? Want to work from home? Do you want to do something that makes a real difference?

We are recruiting local foster carers who can make a real difference to the lives of children and young people. We are a small, friendly and local fostering agency based in Darlington and covering the North East.

You must be over 21 years of age, have a spare bedroom and have the commitment and passion it takes to nurture and support vulnerable children and young people.

We know that being a foster carer is incredibly rewarding but when there are challenges you need to know you are fully supported, that’s why we offer a great package of support for you and your family.

We offer:

·         A dedicated social worker who will work with you from your first enquiry to welcoming your first child.

·         Generous fees and allowances which reflect the time and commitment needed to foster

·         Therapeutic training opportunities to equip you and enhance your knowledge and understanding

·         Peer support groups where you can meet other foster carers

·         Support for your whole family, including your own children
