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 Children's Care Assistants, providing hands-on care and emotional support to children with a variety of needs. If you've helped children with personal care, created consistent routines, or worked closely with families and professionals to meet individual care plans, you could offer a child the one thing they need most — a nurturing, therapeutic home environment.
