Job description

Become a Step Forward Foster Carer - A Life-Changing Opportunity for Paramedics

Foster with TACT Fostering and Bury Council

Are you a Paramedic who thrives under pressure, leads with compassion, and supports people through their most vulnerable moments? You already have the calmness, resilience, and emotional intelligence needed to make a profound difference in a young person's life.

We are looking for dedicated professionals like you to become Step Forward Foster Carers - offering a stable, nurturing home to a young person transitioning from residential care. This is your chance to use your crisis management and care experience in a more personal, long-term way.

This could be your most rewarding role yet - offering not just care, but a sense of belonging and hope for the future.

What is Step Forward Fostering?

Step Forward Fostering is a groundbreaking project that supports young people who have experienced trauma, instability, and loss, helping them move from residential care into a safe and supportive home.

These young people aren't just looking for shelter - they need someone like you: a calm, caring adult who can offer stability, emotional safety, and a trusted relationship built over time.

As a Step Forward Foster Carer, you'll be supported by an experienced professional team. You'll never be alone on this journey.

What You'll Receive:

We know caring for a young person with complex needs requires more than goodwill - it requires comprehensive support.

Specialist Support:

* Your own Senior Practitioner offering regular supervision and guidance

* A Family Wellbeing Worker to support both you and your foster child

* A Hub Carer providing up to 28 days of planned short breaks per year

* Peer support from a network of other Step Forward Carers

* Ongoing training in trauma-informed care and neurodevelopmental needs

* Access to therapeutic and psychological support

We offer generous allowances so you can focus fully on providing consistent care.

* £1,052 per week while you have a child placed with you (around £54,704 per year)

* £408 per week retainer between placements (up to £21,216 annually)

* Extra allowances for birthdays, holidays, and cultural celebrations

* Tax exemptions specifically for foster carers

Is This You?

We are looking for Paramedics who are:

* Passionate about supporting vulnerable people beyond the front line

* Skilled at remaining calm under pressure and building trust quickly

* Resilient, empathetic, and emotionally grounded

* Ready to bring their crisis care experience into a stable home setting

Take the next step in your career and become a Step Forward Foster Carer. Your experience as a Paramedic could be the foundation for a truly life-changing role.
