About the Role

Are you a Nanny or Childminder ready to make an even bigger impact?

You’ve already helped children feel safe, cared for, and confident in their early years. Now, you can use your experience to support a child who needs more than short-term care—they need a real home.

Foster Wales Flintshire is looking for warm, committed individuals near Haslingden and Rossendale to provide stable, full-time care to children who are already beginning to thrive in school and the community, but need a consistent and loving home to truly flourish.

If you’ve worked as a nanny, childminder, au pair, or in home-based childcare, you’re already familiar with the routines, patience, and emotional insight needed to foster.

What You’ll Do

This role involves offering a child or young person a full-time place in your home—helping them move forward from previous disruption or residential care.

These children are often already settled in school and routines but need the emotional warmth and stability of a home environment. You’ll be supported every step of the way by a dedicated fostering team to help them (and you) thrive.

We’re Looking For Individuals or Couples Who:

Have experience in home-based childcare or nannying

Can offer a safe, nurturing, full-time home

Have a spare bedroom

Hold a full UK driving licence

Are warm, resilient, and open to training

Ideally do not have children under 16 living at home (though each situation is reviewed individually)

What You’ll Receive

£50,000 annual support package

Weekly fostering allowance up to £258.79 (approx. £13,453 per year)

Additional annual allowances up to £1,035 for birthdays, holidays and Christmas

Practical & Emotional Support:

A dedicated social worker from Foster Wales Flintshire

Access to a “buddy” foster carer for daily support

Therapeutic and trauma-informed training

Peer groups and well-being resources

Blue Light Card for discounts nationwide

Membership to The Fostering Network

Mockingbird support model (where available)

CareFriends rewards and recognition app
