Foster Carer - Birmingham
We are an independent fostering agency with a registered office based at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire. From this central location, we coordinate local services for our foster carers across the region. We are actively seeking foster carers from the West and East Midlands.
Working with foster carers, we are passionate about improving the lives of children and young people, ensuring they are supported to enjoy their childhoods and have a safe and nurturing environment to grow and achieve. As a foster carer, you will care for children in your home on short- or long-term basis, fulfilling care plans collaboratively with professionals, transporting children to nursery or school, building relationships with teachers and staff, supporting contact with birth families, and promoting their interests and activities.
Our foster carers come from diverse backgrounds with various experiences and interests. Experience working with children and young people, either personally or professionally, is required. Suitable professions include teaching, nursing, support work, and caring.
We are committed to reflecting the diverse communities we serve. Your sexual orientation, marital status, age, religion, culture, and ethnicity will be considered during the fostering assessment process.
Deciding to become a fostering family is significant. We believe the first step is working with the right agency. If you want to make a difference in children's lives and seek a family-friendly, supportive, and professional environment, apply today.
