Job Description
Become a Step Forward Foster Carer – A Life-Changing Opportunity for Health and Social Care Assessors
Foster with TACT Fostering and Bury Council
Are you a Health and Social Care Assessor with a strong background in care and a passion for helping others reach their full potential? You already have the insight, communication skills, and emotional resilience needed to make a life-changing difference in a young person’s life.
We are looking for experienced, supportive professionals like you to become Step Forward Foster Carers — offering a safe, nurturing home to a young person transitioning from residential care. This is your chance to use your care knowledge and mentoring skills to help shape a young person’s future in a family-based setting.
What is Step Forward Fostering?
Step Forward Fostering is a pioneering project that supports young people who have experienced trauma, loss, and instability, helping them move from residential care into a stable, supportive home.
These young people don’t just need a place to stay — they need someone like you: a consistent adult who understands individual needs, builds trust, and offers the stability they’ve often gone without.
As a Step Forward Foster Carer, you’ll be part of a fully supported, professional network. You’ll never be alone on this journey.
What You’ll Receive:
We recognise the commitment it takes to support a young person with complex needs. That’s why we offer full emotional and financial support to help you focus on what matters most — building a safe and loving home.
Specialist Support:
Your own Senior Practitioner offering regular guidance and supervision
A Family Wellbeing Worker to support you and your foster child
A Hub Carer providing up to 28 days of planned short breaks each year
24/7 Out-of-Hours Support
Peer support through a network of other Step Forward Carers
Ongoing training in trauma-informed care and understanding neurodevelopmental needs
Therapeutic and psychological support
Financial Package:
We offer generous fostering allowances so you can provide care without financial strain:
£1,052 per week while you have a child placed with you (around £54,704 a year)
£408 per week retainer between placements (up to £21,216 a year)
Extra allowances for birthdays, holidays, and cultural celebrations
Tax exemptions specifically designed for foster carers
Is This You?
We are looking for Health and Social Care Assessors who are:
Passionate about mentoring and supporting others to grow and succeed
Experienced in working with vulnerable individuals or those with complex needs
Calm, emotionally resilient, and committed to creating positive change
Ready to use their skills in a new and deeply personal way
