Are you ready to make a lasting difference in a young person’s life?
As a Transitions Foster Carer, you’ll provide a safe, stable home for a young person moving on from residential care or other high-support settings. You’ll help them take positive steps forward — offering guidance, understanding, and the consistency they need to thrive.

Have experience working with children, young people, or vulnerable individuals
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 personal 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
