Overview
Join to apply for the Foster Carer - Mental Health Practitioner role at Harmonia Careers. This is fostering - but not as you know it. This is Lleol Foster, a local fostering approach supporting children and young people in and around the Flintshire area who need more than a traditional fostering placement. We are looking for extraordinary people to join us as Lleol Foster Carers, including those who have worked as Mental Health Practitioners, to support children and young people with emotional and psychological needs.

What makes Lleol Foster Carers different?
This is a specialist fostering role supporting young people who are leaving high-support settings like residential care and helping them transition to family life as smoothly as possible. We take a therapeutic approach to professional parenting, with full training, exceptional support, and a team walking alongside you every step of the way.
