Therapeutic Foster Carer

Are you looking to shake up your professional routine while making a massive, lasting impact on a young person's life? We're looking to speak with passionate people with a background in social care, education, youth work, or clinical health to join our supportive community as a Therapeutic Foster Carer. This is an amazing chance to use your professional expertise to provide a safe, nurturing home for children who need it most.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll be the person who truly makes a difference. Your daily life will involve:

  • Providing one-to-one therapeutic support, giving daily guidance tailored to each child's unique emotional and behavioural needs.
  • Supporting the wider care network by offering flexible options, such as short-term emergency interventions or weekend respite breaks.
  • Teaming up with skilled therapists and managers to ensure every child gets the high-quality support they deserve.
  • Keeping clear, thoughtful notes on the children's developmental progress and well-being.
  • Ensuring a safe environment by following national safeguarding standards to the letter.

Who You Are

We're looking for someone who brings heart and experience to the table. To be a great fit, you'll need:

  • Ideally have professional experience in education, social care, youth work, or clinical health.
  • A spare bedroom in your permanent home that's ready for a new arrival.
  • You must be aged 21 or older with the right to work permanently in the UK.

What's In It For You?

We believe in looking after our own. You'll receive a competitive weekly financial package, ongoing specialist training to keep your skills sharp, and 24/7 clinical backup whenever you need a hand.
