- patience, time and commitment to meet the individual needs of the child young person
- the ability to support young people through times of transition and change
what will you receive in return?
- You will be paid a weekly fee of £380 plus fostering allowances when you have a child in placement
- You will have the support of a dedicated fostering social worker and family support worker.
- You will have the support of a team of professionals who are working with the young person in your care and who can offer you one to one advice and support.
- You will have access to a specialist training programme, some of which will start during your assessment period.
- When the office is closed, you will have access to 24-hour support via the foster care support line and emergency duty team.
