Enhanced foster carers for the Children with Disability Team offer a specialist fostering service, they provide planned short break/respite care to children and young people with complex additional needs. All the children have been assessed through the Children with Disabilities Team and have an approval for a set number of overnight short breaks per year

Enhanced carers are expected to be available 4 nights per week for fostering including regular weekend and can depending on the allocation of nights per child offer placements to about 4 different children. Understandably foster carers can take time off for holidays but will still need to ensure that each child is offered the allocated nights per year.

Children who require placements can have a variety of needs from complex health needs to complex behaviours associated with for example autism.

What we need from you:

- A passion for caring for and giving children with additional needs the best opportunities to meet their potential
- Over 21 years of age
- A spare bedroom for fostering and the space for additional equipment that might be needed for children with additional physical needs
- Experience either paid or voluntary of working with children with additional needs
- The time to be a full time foster carer

Enhanced foster carers would receive training provided to all our foster carers, but any additional specialist training for complex health care would be provided through the child’s own health team, With Salford you will have access to 24/7 support from the fostering team, regular meetings with a fostering social worker. You will have access to specialist services who support the child and their families and have the opportunity to attend Foster Carer Forums and receive regular newsletters and updates.

You will also receive competitive payments and allowances plus other benefits.

You will received a regular weekly allowance to acknowledge that you are available for fostering 4 nights per week and this amount is the same no matter how many placements you will be have at anyone time plus a small allowance per child paid based on the nights stayed in placement paid on a weekly basis.
