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.

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 School Nurses, supporting children and young people with their physical and emotional wellbeing. If you ve played a vital role in safeguarding, delivered early intervention, or supported vulnerable pupils and families in educational settings, you could make an incredible difference in a child s life by offering them not just care but stability, consistency, and a therapeutic home.

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:

• 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

This Could Be the Career Change You Never Knew You Were Ready For.

If you ve worked as a:

• School Nurse
• Health Visitor or Public Health Nurse
• Safeguarding Nurse or Children s Health Practitioner
• Community Nurse in education or family settings

then your ability to support children s emotional and physical wellbeing could make you an outstanding foster carer.
