Job Description
Nannies & Childminders - TACT, Bury
Become a Step Forward Foster Carer – A Life-Changing Opportunity for Nannies and Childminders
Foster with TACT Fostering and Bury Council
Have you worked as a nanny, childminder, or in another role caring for children? You already have the compassion, patience, and dedication needed to change a young person’s life.
We are looking for nurturing, experienced individuals like you to become Step Forward Foster Carers — offering a safe, loving home to a young person moving from residential care. This is a unique opportunity to take the care skills you’ve developed professionally and make a lasting, personal impact.
This could be your most rewarding role yet — offering not just care, but a future full of hope.
What is Step Forward Fostering?
Step Forward Fostering is a pioneering project that helps young people who have faced trauma, loss, and instability to transition from residential care into a supportive family environment.
These young people aren’t just looking for a place to stay — they need someone like you: a caring adult who understands their needs, offers guidance, and provides the stability they’ve often lacked.
As a Step Forward Foster Carer, you’ll be part of a supportive community, working alongside professionals who are there to guide you every step of the way.
What You’ll Receive:
We know that caring for a young person with complex needs is a big commitment. That’s why you’ll be fully supported — both emotionally and financially.
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 every year
24/7 Out-of-Hours Support, ensuring you’re never alone
Access to a network of other Step Forward Carers for peer support
Ongoing training in trauma-informed care and understanding neurodevelopmental needs
Therapeutic and psychological support to strengthen your care skills
Financial Package:
Caring for a young person with complex needs takes commitment and dedication. To reflect this, we offer a generous financial package to help you focus fully on providing stability and care.
£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 designed especially for foster carers
Is This You?
We are looking for people who are:
Warm, caring, and emotionally resilient
Experienced in caring for children, either professionally or personally
Confident in building trusting relationships
Committed to making a real, lasting difference in a young person’s life
If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you!
Please note: Ideally, applicants should not have children under 16 living at home, but we consider each family situation individually.
To Be Eligible, You’ll Need:
Experience supporting children, young people, or families
Full-time availability and a spare bedroom
A willingness to complete our professional training
