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.

Every day, foster carers 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, training, support, access to discounts, events and much more!

By fostering for Knowsley, you’ll have:-

  • Opportunities to really make a positive impact and difference to a child’s life
  • Receive a generous allowance
  • Support through a comprehensive induction programme
