Part Time/Respite Foster Carers

We are looking to expand our fostering family

Evergreen Foster Care is a highly specialised service that focuses on placing children from residential schools or children’s homes into intensively supported, foster care placements. The aim of Evergreen Foster Care is to provide placements for children who would not be able to access standard foster care, but could, if adequately supported, make the transition to a family environment.

As children coming out of residential care usually have a range of difficulties, only one foster child can be placed with a family at any one time. This ensures that progress is not complicated by the competing needs of equally complex/challenging children, and that the fostering family maintains stability.

Do you have?

Regular, spare time over-and-above your current job?

Are you semi-retired and have spare time on your hands?

Have you always considered fostering but have not been in a position to commit full-time?

Have you been fearful of fostering and would like a stepping stone into the world of fostering?

Have you thought about how you and your family can enhance a child’s life and provide them with valuable opportunities?

Have you talked with your family about how you can support a foster child?

Do you have a spare room and feel you can offer a child who has had a difficult start in life, another opportunity?

Do you feel you could offer time and care on a regular basis that will fit around your current family commitments?

Being a Part-Time Foster Carer for a child with Evergreen Foster Care is a well-paid, part-time professional role. You work alongside the child’s primary carer and have access to our therapeutic community.

We want you to build an exceptional relationship with a child, so ONE child will be matched to your family and every break will be planned in advance. Part-Time Foster Carers help to support the primary foster carers by providing regular breaks and widening a child’s support networks for life.

We understand what a big responsibility is it to foster children, so our Part-Time Foster Carers receive a professional package of:

- Allowances of £159.40 per day, £318.80 for the weekend
- Paid mileage
- Additional birthday and Christmas allowance
- Paid Foster Talk memberships which provides independent advice, legal insurance, tax benefit and NI advice, 24/7 counselling services, max card discounts, free online events, financial advice and discounted tax return service.
- Paid DBS and medical checks
- Paid access to 130+ online fostering specific training courses
- Fortnightly carer support sessions
- Therapeutic support from a qualified therapist
- Celebration and diversity events
- Telephone advice line
- Group chat forum
- x 3 supervisions per year by a supervising social worker, or as required

You could make friends, have access to endless training and quite simply - change lives
