How can we help you foster?

Bath & North East Somerset Council is seeking more foster carers, fostering families, and supported lodging hosts for local children and young people.

All these roles can potentially be combined with your current work; we are happy to explore this possibility with you.

We are looking for foster carers for children of all ages, sibling groups, unaccompanied young people, children with disabilities (for short breaks known as Family Link), and carers willing to provide a home for a parent and child in need of support.

We also seek individuals who can offer a home to help children move out of residential care.

Additionally, we need carers to support parents in keeping their children within the family through our Fostering Families scheme, as well as Supported Lodging hosts for more independent young people.

Further information about these options is available on our website: https://fostering.bathnes.gov.uk/. You can also leave your contact details through the online form on the site.

If you have questions about any of these fostering options, please contact us by calling 01225 394949.
