**Foster Carers (Trafford)**
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 fostering family for a child in need?
**Role**:
We are looking for caring, patient and resilient people, to care for children and young people that are not able to live with their own families for a period of time. 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.
**Essential**:
- a spare bedroom which can comfortably fit (as a minimum) a single bed, wardrobe, and chest of drawers
- realistically have the time to look after a child/young person
- a genuine interest in caring for young people, as well as respecting and valuing them as individuals
- an ability to show love and care to children who may struggle to accept it
- be able to take children to and from their school, attend any required meetings and regular training sessions
- good standard of spoken English language
- basic IT skills (or willingness to learn)

**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 - £393 to £658 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.
