Supporting foster children - finding foster carers.
There is a shortage of approximately ten thousand foster carers at any one time in the UK. This causes two major problems; one being the obvious lack of numbers and the other being the lack of choice for social workers when trying to find the most suitable foster carers for their children. Fosteringcareers is part of our online foster carer recruitment services which aim is to encourage people to consider fostering as a new career which is hugely rewarding and provides an income that can be well above the national average.
Getting fostering right first time.
Fostering agencies are not all the same, they have different pay, quality of training, access to respite care and carer support groups. Not all agencies foster babies, some prefer to look after teenagers, some agencies expect you to be at home full time, others are happy if you have another job.Over 800 Agencies and Fostering Providers
