**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.

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.
