Job Description:

How can we help you foster?

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

It is possible with all these roles to continue to work and we would explore the feasibility of this with you.

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

We are also seeking people who feel able to offer a child a home so that they can move out of residential care.

We need carers to support parents to keep their children within the family home through our Fostering Families scheme as well as Supported Lodging hosts for older more independent young people.

There is further information on our website about these options, where people can also leave contact details through an online form: https://fostering.bathnes.gov.uk/

If you just have questions about any of these types of fostering, please get in touch which you can do by calling on 01225 394949
