At Fostering South West, we are a collective of 15 local councils working together with one shared goal: to provide children and young people in care with the safe, loving homes they deserve. As part of this partnership, we are committed to recruiting and supporting dedicated foster carers who can transform the lives of vulnerable children, helping them to thrive in a nurturing and stable environment.
The Role:
As a foster carer in Bath and North East Somerset, you will play a vital role in shaping the future of children who need your support. Many of the children in care come from diverse cultural and social backgrounds, and we are particularly looking for individuals who can provide understanding and compassionate care to children with additional needs, sibling groups who need to stay together, and those requiring long-term placements.
This is not just about offering a temporary place to stay; it’s about creating a safe, loving environment where children feel valued and have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
What We Offer:
* 24/7 Support: Our dedicated team is available around the clock to provide guidance and answer your questions.
* Specialist Training: We offer extensive training, covering areas such as trauma-informed care, supporting children with SEND, and understanding the complexities of fostering.
* A Community of Carers: Join a network of experienced foster carers who share their insights and offer peer support.
* Tailored Local Support: As part of Bath and North East Somerset, you’ll receive resources and advice specific to your area, ensuring you feel confident every step of the way.
What We’re Looking For:
We welcome applications from individuals and families from all walks of life. Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or have your own family, what matters most is your ability to provide a safe, nurturing, and understanding environment.
If you have the compassion, patience, and dedication to make a profound difference in a child’s life, we want to hear from you.

Fostering is one of the most rewarding ways to give back to your community. By becoming a foster carer, you will not only change a child’s life for the better but also experience personal growth and fulfilment through the connections you build and the positive impact you make.
