Are you a Healthcare Assistant or Support Worker ready to make a profound difference in a young person’s life?
You already provide care, support, and guidance to vulnerable individuals every day — now you can use those same skills to provide a stable, nurturing home for a young person transitioning from residential care or high-support settings.
Foster Wales Flintshire is looking for compassionate, dedicated individuals near Haslingden and Rossendale to become foster carers for children and young people who are already settled in their communities but need stability and care to continue thriving.
Your experience in health, social care, or support work gives you the skills to make a lasting, positive impact.
About the Role
This role focuses on supporting young people aged 11–18 moving from residential care or high-support settings into a family environment. These young people may have faced challenges in the past but are ready to grow, learn, and flourish with consistent support.
You’ll welcome a young person into your home, supporting them full-time as part of your family — with training, supervision, and professional support provided at every step.
We’re Looking For Individuals or Couples Who:
Have experience in healthcare, support work, or working with vulnerable young people
Can offer a full-time, stable and nurturing home environment
Have a spare bedroom
Hold a full UK driving licence
Are open to training, teamwork, and ongoing professional development
Ideally don’t have children under 16 living at home (but each case is considered individually)
What You’ll Receive
Financial Support:
£50,000 annual support package
Weekly fostering allowance up to £258.79 (approx. £13,453 per year)
Additional allowances (up to £1,035) for birthdays, holidays and Christmas
Support & Development:
Personal support from a Foster Wales Flintshire team member
Access to a dedicated “buddy” carer for hands-on help
Specialist training (including child development and trauma-informed care)
Peer support and well-being groups
Other Benefits:
50% discount on Council Tax
Blue Light Card for discounts nationwide
Membership to The Fostering Network
Access to the Mockingbird family model (where available)
Recognition through the CareFriends rewards app
