Job Overview

This is a foster care role where you provide care for children and young people in your own home.

Children in the Vale of Glamorgan need safe, stable, and caring homes where they can feel valued and thrive. At Foster Wales, we're looking for compassionate people who can open their home and provide the support, guidance, and encouragement young people need as they grow.

By becoming a foster carer, you'll offer a child or young person a safe place to live, helping them feel secure, build confidence, and reach their full potential.

What you need

To become a foster carer, you'll need:

  • A spare bedroom in your home
  • Time, patience, and openness
  • A desire to support children and young people in your community
  • A willingness to learn and take part in training and ongoing support

Why foster?

Fostering gives you the chance to make a real difference in a child's life. By providing a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment, you can help young people develop confidence, resilience, and stability while taking part in a rewarding and life-changing journey.

Who can apply?

We welcome applicants from all walks of life. You don't need specific qualifications. What matters most is empathy, resilience, and a commitment to supporting children and young people in your care.

Many people come to fostering with experience from other caring or people-focused roles, and we particularly value the skills gained in professions such as Teachers, Nursery Nurses and Nursery Practitioners, Counsellors, Nurses and Midwives, Educational Psychologists, Childcare Workers, Registered Managers, Social Workers, Substance Misuse Workers and Youth Workers.

If you've supported young people, families, or vulnerable individuals in any capacity, your skills are highly transferable and could help you become a successful foster carer.

Flexible ways to foster

Opening your home to a child doesn't always mean making a long-term commitment. There are different ways to foster, including:

  • Short breaks
  • Emergency care
  • Longer-term placements

Our team will help you find the fostering arrangement that works best for you while ensuring local children have the safe and supportive home they need.

Benefits of fostering with us

  • Ongoing specialist training tailored to your needs
  • Financial support and professional fees
  • Access to 24-hour support
  • Regular support groups and peer networks
  • The opportunity to make a life-changing difference close to home
  • Membership of the Blue Light Card for nationwide discounts

Ready to make a real difference?

If you live in the Vale of Glamorgan and have the patience, empathy, and commitment to support children and young people, fostering could be the most meaningful step you take.

By welcoming a child into your own home, you'll provide the stability, understanding, and care they need to thrive while becoming part of a dedicated network of foster carers making a difference across your community

Pay: £25,000.00-£75,000.00 per year

Application question(s):

  • Do you have an unoccupied spare bedroom in your home for fostering?

  • United Kingdom (required)

Location:
