Do Something Incredible -
Consider A Career In Foster Caring

With a shortage of foster carers in
Northamptonshire, Foster Care Associates
(FCA) wants to hear from potential foster
families who are keen to make an incredible
difference and provide a safe and stable
home to young people in the region in 2015.
FCA’s warm-hearted, yet resilient foster
carers provide a safe and stable home to
dozens of children and young people in the
region ensuring that they receive the love,
respect and care they need.

Julie Melck, fostering services manager
from FCA, explained that FCA is continually
seeking to attract new carers with a spare
bedroom who believe they have the
patience, understanding and determination
to make a difference to young people’s
lives. From people whose children have
left home and single people, to families
with teenagers, there are all kinds of
families and individuals who can begin the
hugely rewarding journey into foster care. In
Northamptonshire, the FCA would really like
to hear from potential foster carers to take on
some of the more diffi cult-to-place children
and young people. These could range from
young people such as teenagers, as well as
young mothers who want to be fostered with
their own child.

According to FCA there are many factors
that make up an ideal candidate - everything
from being adaptable, resilient and nurturing
to being a good listener and having a fl exible
response to a young person’s needs.

From the very beginning, FCA provides
ongoing support and generous fees to all of its
carers, throughout the UK, and is dedicated to
providing all the advice they need to make a
positive impact on the children they look after.
Anyone interested in fostering is invited
to come along to one of FCA’s many
fostering information events.
