Contract Type: Full-time (Flexible, home-based)
Sector: Children & Families / Care / Wellbeing / Health & Social Care

Are you a Healthcare Assistant or Support Worker ready to make a profound difference in a young person’s life?
You already provide care, support, and guidance to vulnerable individuals every day — now you can use those same skills to provide a stable, nurturing home for a young person transitioning from residential care or high-support settings.

Foster Wales Flintshire is looking for compassionate, dedicated individuals near Haslingden and Rossendale to become foster carers for children and young people who are already settled in their communities but need stability and care to continue thriving.
Your experience in health, social care, or support work gives you the skills to make a lasting, positive impact.

About the Role

This role focuses on supporting young people aged 11–18 moving from residential care or high-support settings into a family environment. These young people may have faced challenges in the past but are ready to grow, learn, and flourish with consistent support.

You’ll welcome a young person into your home, supporting them full‑time as part of your family — with training, supervision, and professional support provided at every step.

We’re Looking For Individuals or Couples Who:

• Have experience in healthcare, support work, or working with vulnerable young people
• Can offer a full‑time, stable and nurturing home environment
• Have a spare bedroom
• Hold a full UK driving licence
• Are open to training, teamwork, and ongoing professional development
• Ideally don’t have children under 16 living at home (but each case is considered individually)

What You’ll Receive

• £50,000 annual support package
• Weekly fostering allowance up to £258.79 (approx. £13,453 per year)
• Additional allowances (up to £1,035) for birthdays, holidays and Christmas

Support & Development:

• Personal support from a Foster Wales Flintshire team member
• Access to a dedicated “buddy” carer for hands‑on help
• Specialist training (including child development and trauma‑informed care)
• Peer support and well‑being groups

Other Benefits:

• 50% discount on Council Tax
• Blue Light Card for discounts nationwide
• Membership to The Fostering Network
• Access to the Mockingbird family model (where available)
• Recognition through the CareFriends rewards app
