What is Lleol Foster Carer?

Become a Lleol (local) Foster Carer with Flintshire County Council. 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. This is fostering – but not as you know it. This is Lleol Fostering.

What makes Lleol Foster Carers different

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

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).
