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

Foster with TACT Fostering and Bury Council

Please Note: This role requires you to be Self Employed

Are you a Registered Manager passionate about creating safe, supportive environments for vulnerable individuals? You already have the leadership, empathy, and resilience needed to make a profound difference in a young person's life.

We are looking for compassionate, experienced professionals 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 safeguarding and care experience 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.

What You'll Receive:

We understand that caring for a young person with complex needs is a significant commitment. That's why we provide comprehensive support - both emotionally and financially.

Specialist Support:

* Your own Senior Practitioner offering regular guidance and supervision

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

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

* Access to a network of other Step Forward Carers for peer support

* Ongoing training in trauma-informed care and understanding neurodevelopmental needs

* Therapeutic and psychological support to build on your existing skills

We recognise the commitment it takes to support a young person with complex needs and offer a generous financial package to help you focus fully on providing stability and care.

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

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

* Extra allowances for birthdays, holidays, and cultural celebrations

* Tax exemptions specifically designed for foster carers

Is This You?

We are looking for Registered Managers who are:

* Passionate about making a difference beyond their current role

* Experienced in safeguarding, behaviour management, and care planning

* Resilient, empathetic, and committed to providing stability

* Ready to transfer their leadership and care expertise to a family-based setting

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you!

To Be Eligible, You'll Need:

* Experience working with children, young people, or vulnerable adults in a care setting

* Full-time availability and a spare bedroom

* A willingness to complete our professional training

* The right to work in the UK

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