Become a Step Forward Foster Carer – A Life-Changing Opportunity for Nursery Practitioners and Managers
Foster with TACT Fostering and Bury Council
Are you a nursery practitioner, nursery manager, or early years professional? You already have the dedication, patience, and nurturing spirit needed to make a life-changing difference in a young person’s life.
We are looking for caring, experienced individuals like you to become Step Forward Foster Carers — offering a safe, supportive home to a young person transitioning from residential care. This is a unique opportunity to take the skills you’ve developed in early years settings and use them to provide stability and hope on a more personal level.
This could be your most rewarding role yet — offering not just care, but a brighter future.
What is Step Forward Fostering?
Step Forward Fostering is a pioneering project that helps young people who have faced trauma, loss, and instability to move from residential care into a nurturing family environment.
These young people aren’t just looking for a place to stay — they need someone like you: a compassionate adult who understands their needs, offers guidance, and provides the consistency they’ve often missed.
As a Step Forward Foster Carer, you’ll be part of a supportive community, working alongside professionals who are there to help you every step of the way.
