Job Description
Become a Step Forward Foster Carer – A Life-Changing Opportunity for Family Therapists
Foster with TACT Fostering and Bury Council
Are you a Family Therapist with a deep understanding of relationships, trauma, and healing? You already have the empathy, resilience, and communication skills needed to create lasting, meaningful change in a young person’s life.
We are looking for emotionally attuned, experienced professionals like you to become Step Forward Foster Carers — offering a safe, supportive home to a young person transitioning from residential care. This is your chance to apply your therapeutic expertise in a powerful new way — in your own home.
This could be your most rewarding role yet — offering not just care, but consistency, healing, and hope.
What is Step Forward Fostering?
Step Forward Fostering is a pioneering project designed to help young people who have faced trauma, loss, and instability move from residential care into a safe, nurturing family environment.
These young people aren’t simply looking for accommodation — they need someone like you: a trusted adult who understands emotional regulation, family dynamics, and the power of secure attachment.
As a Step Forward Foster Carer, you’ll work as part of a multi-agency team, with therapeutic support built in. You’ll never be alone on this journey.
What You’ll Receive:
Caring for a young person with complex needs requires robust support — and we provide exactly that, every step of the way.
Specialist Support:
Your own Senior Practitioner offering regular guidance and supervision
A Family Wellbeing Worker to support both you and your foster child
A Hub Carer providing up to 28 days of planned short breaks per year
24/7 Out-of-Hours Support
A peer support network of other Step Forward Carers
Ongoing training in trauma-informed care, attachment, and neurodevelopmental needs
Therapeutic and psychological support aligned with your existing expertise
Financial Package:
We offer a generous financial package so you can focus on what matters most — providing stability and care.
£1,052 per week while a child is placed with you (around £54,704 per year)
£408 per week retainer between placements (up to £21,216 annually)
Additional allowances for birthdays, holidays, and cultural celebrations
Tax exemptions specifically designed for foster carers
s This You?
We are looking for Family Therapists who are:
Passionate about attachment, emotional healing, and trauma-informed care
Skilled in managing complex behaviour with empathy and boundaries
Calm, resilient, and able to create nurturing family environments
Ready to apply their therapeutic understanding in a home setting
