Do you have a spare bedroom in your home for a child? Are you perhaps looking for a change of career or get a better work/life balance? Then have you thought about becoming a foster carer for a child that is a refugee or seeking asylum in the UK?

**Role**:
We are looking for caring, patient and resilient people to care for older children and teenagers that are alone in the UK without family support. These children need care and guidance to adapt to living in the UK, with families that can also support their religious, cultural and language needs.

The child will live in your home as part of your family whilst you work as part of a team to support them through a difficult time of their life.

- able to drive, or would be willing to learn (but if you are living in a large city with lots of good transport links, we can discuss)

**Experience**:
Full training is provided but any previous experience of being a parent, childminder, foster carer, or working with children or vulnerable adults can be beneficial. If you have limited experience don’t rule yourself out, come and talk to us.

**Remuneration**:

- You do not get a salary as a foster care but a weekly allowance is paid when you have a child or young person living with you. This is to cover the costs of caring for a child e.g. food, clothing, pocket money etc.
- Starting allowance range - £420 to £630 per week
- Additional grants and allowances e.g. festival allowance and child summer holiday grant
- Higher allowances are for children with additional needs such as parent and child placements, children with medical needs, or young offenders. Allowances will also increase with your level of experience.

**Other Benefits**:

- Initial and regular, ongoing training to support your role as a foster carer
- Your own social worker to support you with fostering
- 24/7 telephone support
- support groups/social meetings for foster carers locally to get to know each other
- activities and days out for children and/or the whole fostering household
- Fostertalk membership, which includes useful advice and information on tax and insurance, as well as discounts for fostering households etc.
