Become a Lleol (local) Foster Carer with Flintshire County Council

Annual Fee: £50,000 + up to £13,453.96 in Weekly Allowances
Plus, additional payments for holidays, birthdays & Christmas

You’ve built a career supporting others…

But have you ever thought about doing it from your own home – and truly changing a life forever?

We’re looking for people with passion, patience, and experience to take the next step – not just into another job, but into a whole new way of making a difference.

This is fostering – but not as you know it.
This is Lleol Fostering.

Lleol means local in Welsh and with fostering – maintaining locality is hugely important.
There are children and young people in and around the Flintshire area who need something more than just a traditional fostering placement. They need time, patience, expertise — and above all — someone who will believe in them and fight their corner.

We are looking for extraordinary people to join us as Lleol Foster Carers – including those who have worked as Activity Coordinators, creating safe, engaging, and meaningful experiences for individuals across a range of settings. If you’ve supported people by building their confidence, encouraging participation, and promoting emotional and social wellbeing, your creativity and relationship-building skills could make a lasting difference in a child’s life — by offering them the one thing they need most — a safe, therapeutic home.

What makes Lleol Foster Carers different?

This is a specialist fostering role — supporting young people who are leaving high-support settings like residential care and helping them to transition to family life as smoothly as possible.

We take a therapeutic approach to professional parenting, giving you every opportunity to develop your skills through full training, exceptional support, and a team walking alongside you every step of the way.

What You’ll Receive as a Lleol Foster Carer:

£50,000 Annual Fee recognising your dedicated time, skill & commitment

Up to £258.79 Weekly Fostering Allowance (over £13,453 annually)

Additional Allowances for Birthdays, Holidays & Christmas

Access to a linked Lleol Support Foster Carer – for practical help and respite

50% discount on your Council Tax payments

Therapeutic Training & Qualifications

Membership to The Fostering Network

Access to the Mockingbird Support Model

Blue Light Card membership – access to more than 15,000 discounts nationwide

Reward & Recognition via the CareFriends App

Could You Be a Lleol Foster Carer?

We’re looking for individuals or couples who:

Have professional or personal experience in supporting children & young people

Can provide a nurturing, therapeutic home environment

Have at least one spare bedroom that can be dedicated to fostering

Hold a full driving licence

Are able to offer their full-time commitment to this role

Can work as part of a professional team, attend meetings, and engage in training

Are resilient, reflective, and ready to parent in a new and guided way

Are open to registering as self-employed

Ideally, you won’t have other children under 16 living in your home (though exceptions may apply dependent on individual fostering experience).

This Could Be the Career Change You Never Knew You Were Ready For.

If you’ve worked as an:

Activity Coordinator

Engagement Worker

Day Service Officer

Participation Lead
…then your ability to design and deliver positive experiences, build trust, and support emotional development could make you an outstanding foster carer.
