About

Become a Step Forward Foster Carer – A Life-Changing Opportunity for Health Visitors Foster with TACT Fostering and Bury Council

Are you a Health Visitor who is passionate about supporting children and families? You already have the dedication, empathy, and commitment needed to make a profound difference in a young person’s life.

We are looking for compassionate, resilient individuals like you to become Step Forward Foster Carers — offering a safe, nurturing home to a young person transitioning from residential care. This is a unique opportunity to take the skills you’ve developed in your role and make a lasting, personal impact. This could be your most rewarding role yet — offering not just care, but a future full of hope.

What is Step Forward Fostering?

Step Forward Fostering is a pioneering project that helps young people who have faced trauma, loss, and instability transition from residential care into a caring family environment. These young people aren’t just looking for a place to stay — they need someone like you: a supportive adult who understands their needs, builds trust, and provides the consistency they’ve often lacked. As a Step Forward Foster Carer, you’ll be part of a supportive team, working alongside professionals who are there to guide you every step of the way. You’ll never be alone on this journey.
