Foster Carer (Full-Time)


 

$ads={1}

We are looking to expand our fostering family!

Evergreen Foster Care is a highly specialised service that focuses on placing children from residential schools or children’s homes into intensively supported foster care placements. The aim of Evergreen Foster Care is to provide placements for children who would not be able to access standard foster care, but could, if adequately supported, make the transition to a family environment.

As children coming out of residential care usually have a range of difficulties, only one foster child can be placed with a family at any one time. This ensures that progress is not complicated by the competing needs of equally complex/challenging children, and that the fostering family maintains stability.

We understand how difficult it is to foster children who have social, emotional and/or mental health difficulties, and who may also have aspects of autistic spectrum condition.

We understand what a big responsibility is it to foster children, so our Foster Carers receive a professional package of:

  • Allowance of £38,584 per year allowance or £3,215 per month (additional payments for respite not used / needed)
  • Paid mileage
  • Additional birthday and Christmas allowance
  • 24 hour dedicated support operated by people who know the child in your care
  • Regular breaks (amount and frequency will depend on everyone’s needs)
  • 20 x group reflection sessions ran by a qualified therapist
  • 20 x group training and support sessions ran by managers and social workers
  • Paid Foster Talk memberships which provides independent advice, legal insurance, tax benefit and NI advice, 24/7 counselling services, max card discounts, free online events, financial advice and discounted tax return service
  • Paid DBS and medical checks
  • Paid access to 130+ online fostering specific training courses
  • Celebration and diversity events
  • Planned fortnightly 1:1 time with a qualified therapist
  • Telephone advice line
  • Group chat forum
  • A specialist school place for the child in your care (subject to agreement from the child’s Local Education Authority)
  • A bespoke therapy package for either the whole family, the child or the carers individually
  • A comprehensive training and support package proven to be successful in children’s homes and schools (see Training, Supervision and Support section)
  • Access to over 50 years of professional experience

You could make friends, have access to endless training and quite simply - change lives!
