SUPPORT FOR FOSTER CARERS

United believes that foster carers need to provide a ‘secure base’ for children in their care. To enable them to do this, the agency will provide a similar ‘secure base’ for foster carers and their families and will do this by:

24/7 access to a local and known member of staff
Supervision, support and regular telephone contact from an qualified and experienced Social Worker.
We provide up to 14 nights paid respite per year.
Regular support group meetings.
Duty Supervising Social Workers so that foster carers always have someone to talk.
Organised events for foster carers as well as activities for carer’s own children and looked after children, throughout the year.
United foster carers will have support and access to experienced, qualified therapists as we believe it is essential to support foster carers and their children with managing the impact of fostering.
Support for Sons and Daughters.
A relevant and comprehensive training programme for foster carers, including access to therapuetic trainings and post approval trainings.
A level of financial support, that values and respects foster carers' skills, learning and commitment to United's carers.
A fulfilling career where you can make a real difference to young people's lives
