Foster Carer - Youth Worker

£1,000 per week
Full-time
Step-Forward Foster Carer - Support Children Transitioning from Residential Care

Location: Conwy

Salary: £1000 per week per child, plus additional payments for the child (child allowance, holidays, birthday and other religious celebrations)
Employment Type: Full-time | Self-employed
Sector: Social Care | Education | Healthcare

A Role That Truly Changes Lives

Step-Forward Fostering is a highly rewarding role that supports children leaving residential care to move into a stable and nurturing family home.

As an approved Step-Forward Foster Carer, you would welcome a child or sibling group into your home and provide the care, stability, guidance, and consistency they need at a pivotal time in their lives.

Many of these children have experienced trauma, disruption, or separation. By fostering with Foster Wales Conwy, you can help children stay connected to their community, schools, friends, and extended family while helping them to develop the confidence and skills to move forward.

If you've worked as a youth worker-building trust with young people, supporting them through tough times, and helping them reach their potential-your experience could change a child's life in ways you never imagined.

This role allows you to apply your professional or personal skills in a truly meaningful way, providing a caring and supportive home where children can feel belonging and value as part of a family - your family.

Who Can Apply to Become a Step-Forward Foster Carer?

We welcome enquiries from individuals and/or couples who:

* Are aged 21 or over (with no upper age limit)
* Have the legal Right to Work in the United Kingdom (see definition below)
* Can provide full-time care for a child or children in their home (at least one carer must be present full-time if applying as a couple)
* Have a spare bedroom or bedrooms dedicated to fostering
* Have experience supporting children, young people, or adults, particularly those with complex needs or challenging behaviours

People from many different backgrounds can become successful Foster Carers. What matters most is having patience, empathy, and the ability to provide a caring and dependable home environment for a child or young person who needs it.

Do You Have the Right to Work in the United Kingdom?

Before you can apply to be a Foster Carer, you must first prove that you are able to work in the United Kingdom. This can be defined as:

* British or Irish citizens
* People settled or pre-settled under the European Union Settlement Scheme
* Those with certain visas or indefinite leave to remain
* Anyone with the legal right to live and work in the United Kingdom

Please Note: You will need to show original documents before you can begin your application to foster.

What the Role Involves

* Full-time care for a child or sibling group moving from residential care
* Offering continued stability, routine, and reassurance
* Support the child's emotional, behavioural, and social development
* Working closely with social workers, therapists and other professionals
* Keeping clear records and provide therapeutic, nurturing support
* Ensuring that the child can maintain important links to their wider family

Why Choose Step-Forward Fostering with Foster Wales Conwy?

* Enhanced fee of £52,000 per annum (equivalent to £1,000 per week)
* Weekly age-related fostering allowance for the child*
* Payments for birthday, holiday and religious/cultural celebration*
* Retainer payment paid from date of approval until child placed and between fostering placements and £500 referral via Care Friends App

Additionally, you will receive access to:

* Therapeutic training tailored to your experience
* Support from a dedicated fostering team
* Other benefits and discounts such (up to 100%) Council Tax reduction, Conwy Council parking permit, FfIT membership and access Blue Light Card for nationwide discounts

*In-line with age related DFE rates and weekly payment increased annually in line with inflation
