## Description

An excellent opportunity to make a difference…

Brent’s fostering service is looking for more foster carers; you could make a significant difference to a child’s life.

As a Brent foster carer, you will play a vital role in providing a safe, stable, and nurturing home for children and young people who are unable to live with their birth families.

Fostering is a rewarding and life-changing opportunity to make a real difference in a child’s life. You will work closely with our fostering team and receive dedicated support, training, and guidance throughout your fostering journey.

We are looking for individuals or couples who are:

- Caring, patient, and supportive

- Willing to work as part of a team with social workers, schools, and other professionals

- Interested in supporting children from diverse backgrounds and experiences

- Committed to providing consistent care, love, and stability

This role is flexible and home-based, with a generous weekly fostering allowance, access to peer support groups, 24/7 social work support, and a wide range of training and development opportunities.

What We Offer:

- A generous weekly fostering allowance of £350–£495 per child (depending on needs and experience)

- Start-up grant and essential equipment

- Free training and continuous professional development

- Access to a dedicated supervising social worker in Brent’s fostering service

- Membership to The Fostering Network

- Peer support groups and networking opportunities

- Invitations to social events, celebration days, and recognition awards

- Ongoing emotional and practical support, including 24/7 out-of-hours help
