Become a Lleol (local) Foster Carer with Flintshire County Council. This is fostering with a local focus, supporting children and young people in and around the Flintshire area to help them thrive in a stable, therapeutic home.
What makes Lleol Foster Carers different?
This is a specialist fostering role — supporting young people who are transitioning from high-support settings like residential care to family life, with a therapeutic approach to professional parenting. You will receive full training, exceptional support, and a team beside you every step of the way.
Lleol means local in Welsh and maintaining locality is important. There are children and young people who need more than a traditional placement – they need time, patience, expertise, and someone who will believe in them and fight their corner.
