Could this be your most rewarding role yet?

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 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 nursery practitioners, room leaders, or nursery managers, with hands-on experience in early years education, safeguarding, and building trusting relationships with children and families. If you’ve supported little ones through their most formative years, you may be ready to guide children through one of the most important transitions of their lives.

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 a:

• Nursery Practitioner or Room Leader

• Nursery Manager or Deputy Manager

…then your experience could give you exactly what’s needed to become a truly life-changing foster carer.…then you may already have the skills that could make all the difference to a child.
