Foster Carer - Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole

Fostering South West is a collaboration of 15 local councils working to ensure that every child in care has the chance to grow up in a safe, loving home. Our aim is to create a community of foster carers who are supported, valued, and empowered to make a lasting difference in the lives of children and young people.

The Role:

We are looking for foster carers in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole who can provide stability and care to children in need. Some children require long-term placements, while others may have additional needs or need to stay with their siblings. By fostering, you'll be giving these children the opportunity to thrive in a nurturing and supportive environment.

Your role will go beyond providing a roof over their heads-it's about creating a home where children feel safe, valued, and understood. Whether it's helping them navigate school, celebrating their successes, or simply being there to listen, you'll be making a difference in ways that truly matter.

What We Offer:

• Round-the-Clock Support: Access advice and guidance whenever you need it.
• Comprehensive Training: Gain the knowledge and skills to handle the challenges of fostering, including trauma-informed care and understanding SEND.
• Community Connections: Build relationships with a network of foster carers and share experiences.
• Localised Resources: Benefit from support tailored to the needs of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

Who We're Looking For:

We welcome individuals, couples, and families from all backgrounds who have the capacity to provide a loving and stable home. Whether you're single, in a partnership, or part of a larger family, fostering could be an incredible opportunity for you.

Why Foster with Us?

Fostering changes lives-not only for the children in care but for the carers themselves. It is a chance to give back to your community, create meaningful connections, and witness the incredible resilience and potential of children.
