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

Annual Fee: £50,000 + up to £13,453.96 in Weekly Allowances

Background

You’ve built a career supporting children and young people

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 teaching assistants in primary, secondary, or SEN/ALN settings. If you’ve supported children in the classroom, helped them regulate emotions, learn routines, and build confidence, your skills could be life-changing in a home environment too.

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
• Regular Wellbeing events & Peer Support groups
