Become a Foster Carer
Our foster carers look after children and young people who are temporarily or permanently unable to live with their birth families. Our carers are trained and supported to give vulnerable children and young people a safe, stable, caring home. Your fostering role is all about giving a child or young person a secure place to stay and making sure they’re well looked after.
We’re an aspirational social enterprise that values our carers and we recognise the vital role they play in turning children and young people’s lives around. We also appreciate the challenges it can throw up and as a result our carers are supported to carry out their vital role with children and young people.
We care about our carers, so we offer you a generous range of benefits to recognise the valuable role you play.
We don’t underestimate the challenge of being a foster carer and we’re here to support you in your role every step of the way.
Don’t delay, apply to foster with Five Rivers today to start your career with life changing potential.
You may have lots of questions if you’re considering fostering, we hope our FAQS will help to answer some. We also have an experienced carer enquiry team who can answer your questions and help you on your journey to start fostering with us.
We’re looking for foster carers to join our Solution 28 Scheme and support children and young people in their first 28 days of entering the care system before they move on to a stable placement.
