You will have a social worker allocated to support and supervise you who will visit every two weeks. In addition to this there will always be a social worker available on duty 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
We'll provide regular training with other foster carers to help you understand the needs of the children you'll look after. We'll even pay you to attend!
This isn't just theory, our training is designed to give you practical guidance.
Some of you will want to go on to take NVQ qualifications and other specialist training. We'll provide this.
Our carers meet together regularly to support each other.....we'll pay you to attend.
You can take up to 18 days per year as a paid break, when the child you are caring for is cared for by another of our carers without loss of your income.
We have support workers who are able to help out by taking the children and young people out on activities.
