Job Description
Become a Step Forward Foster Carer – A Life-Changing Opportunity for Paramedics
Foster with TACT Fostering and Bury Council
Are you a Paramedic who thrives under pressure, leads with compassion, and supports people through their most vulnerable moments? You already have the calmness, resilience, and emotional intelligence needed to make a profound difference in a young person’s life.
We are looking for dedicated professionals like you to become Step Forward Foster Carers — offering a stable, nurturing home to a young person transitioning from residential care. This is your chance to use your crisis management and care experience in a more personal, long-term way.
This could be your most rewarding role yet — offering not just care, but a sense of belonging and hope for the future.
What is Step Forward Fostering?
Step Forward Fostering is a groundbreaking project that supports young people who have experienced trauma, instability, and loss, helping them move from residential care into a safe and supportive home.
These young people aren’t just looking for shelter — they need someone like you: a calm, caring adult who can offer stability, emotional safety, and a trusted relationship built over time.
As a Step Forward Foster Carer, you’ll be supported by an experienced professional team. You’ll never be alone on this journey.
What You’ll Receive:
We know caring for a young person with complex needs requires more than goodwill — it requires comprehensive support.
Specialist Support:
Your own Senior Practitioner offering regular supervision and guidance
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, ensuring you’re never alone
Peer support from a network of other Step Forward Carers
Ongoing training in trauma-informed care and neurodevelopmental needs
Access to therapeutic and psychological support
Financial Package:
We offer generous allowances so you can focus fully on providing consistent care.
£1,052 per week while you have a child placed with you (around £54,704 per year)
£408 per week retainer between placements (up to £21,216 annually)
Extra allowances for birthdays, holidays, and cultural celebrations
Tax exemptions specifically for foster carers
Is This You?
We are looking for Paramedics who are:
Passionate about supporting vulnerable people beyond the front line
Skilled at remaining calm under pressure and building trust quickly
Resilient, empathetic, and emotionally grounded
Ready to bring their crisis care experience into a stable home setting
