Transitions Foster Carer – Residential Support Worker

Job Title: Specialist Foster Carer (Ideal for Residential Support Workers)
Location: Rossendale
Salary: £50,000 annual support package + additional allowances (see below)
Contract Type: Full-time (Flexible, home-based)
Sector: Children & Families / Care / Wellbeing / Residential Support

Are you a Residential Support Worker ready to take your experience in care to a life-changing new level?
You already support young people in residential or high-support settings, providing structure, guidance, and emotional support — now you can offer a stable, nurturing home for a young person transitioning into family life.

Foster Wales Flintshire is looking for compassionate, dedicated individuals near Haslingden and Rossendale to become foster carers for children and young people who are already settled in their communities but need consistency, care, and guidance to continue thriving.
Your experience in residential care gives you the skills to make a lasting, positive impact.

About the Role

This role focuses on supporting young people aged 11–18 as they transition from residential care into a family setting. These young people may have faced challenges in the past but are ready to develop confidence, independence, and stability with consistent support.

You’ll welcome a child or young person into your home, supporting them full-time as part of your family — with comprehensive training, ongoing supervision, and professional guidance provided every step of the way.

We’re Looking For Individuals or Couples Who:

Have experience as a Residential Support Worker or in similar care roles
Can offer a full-time, stable, and nurturing home environment
Have a spare bedroom
Hold a full UK driving licence
Are open to training, teamwork, and ongoing personal development
Ideally don’t have children under 16 living at home (but each case is considered individually)

What You’ll Receive

Financial Support:

£50,000 annual support package
Weekly fostering allowance up to £258.79 (approx. £13,453 per year)
Additional allowances (up to £1,035) for birthdays, holidays and Christmas
Support & Development:

Personal support from a Foster Wales Flintshire team member
Access to a dedicated “buddy” carer for hands-on help
Specialist training (including child development and trauma-informed care)
Peer support and well-being groups
Other Benefits:

50% discount on Council Tax
Blue Light Card for discounts nationwide
Membership to The Fostering Network
Access to the Mockingbird family model (where available)
Recognition through the CareFriends rewards app
