Could you change a child’s life?
Foster carers make a significant difference to the lives of children and young people in Knowsley, helping them to flourish and achieve their full potential. They provide safe and loving homes for children of all ages who, for a variety of reasons, are not able to live with their own family for a period of time.
Being a foster carer is home-based, flexible and a self-employed role that utilises your skills to make a positive impact on the lives of children and young people.
In return, you will receive a generous allowance for the care you provide along with a range of additional support including specialist training and development, an experienced ‘buddy mentor’ for all new foster carers, access to a range of support including an online foster carer hub, a named nurse to support with health and wellbeing, plus group activity days, exclusive offers and discounts, equipment and health and wellbeing support.
