Are you ready to make a lasting difference in a young person’s life?
As a Transitions Foster Carer, you’ll provide a safe, stable home for a young person moving on from residential care or other high-support settings. You’ll help them take positive steps forward — offering guidance, understanding, and the consistency they need to thrive.

Foster Wales Flintshire is looking for compassionate, resilient individuals or couples near Haslingden and Rossendale to become foster carers for children who are already doing well in their communities but need stability to continue their journey.
Your experience supporting, mentoring, or caring for others could make a life-changing impact.

About the Role

This role focuses on helping young people aged 11–18 transition from residential care into a nurturing family environment. These children may have faced challenges in the past but are now ready to grow and achieve with the right support.

You’ll welcome a young person into your home and support them full-time as part of your family — with continuous training and dedicated professional guidance every step of the way.

We’re Looking For Individuals or Couples Who:

Have experience working with children, young people, or vulnerable individuals
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
