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 Education Welfare Officers, helping to support children's attendance, engagement, and wellbeing in education. If you've worked to remove barriers to learning and supported families to create stability and positive routines, your experience could offer a child the one thing they need most — a safe, therapeutic home where they can grow and thrive.
