Job Description
Have a spare room and a big heart? You could transform a child’s life – and your own.
We’re Sparks Fostering, rated Outstanding for leadership by Ofsted, and we’re looking for people across Bristol and surrounding counties who can provide a safe and supportive home to a child or young person.
You don’t need special qualifications — just a willingness to learn, a nurturing heart, and space in your home.
What We Offer:
Pay & Financial Support
* £500–£1000 + per week per child (current average fee is £750/week, including for newly approved carers)

* Specialist training, first aid & de-escalation training

What You’ll Do:
As a foster carer, you’ll care for a child who cannot live with their birth family. Your role is to provide stability, safety, and love — we provide everything else.
You’ll attend training, work with a social worker, and be part of a supportive fostering team.
Requirements:
* A spare bedroom in your home
* Age 21 or older
