Ever thought about being a foster carer? You could transform a child’s life and develop your own skills and career with AFA, a leading foster care agency now recruiting in Northamptonshire.
We are looking for people who could care for vulnerable children, welcoming them into your family and helping them to thrive. You’ll undergo a thorough assessment process and attend our renowned training programmes to help you learn all about fostering.
We look after children from all sorts of backgrounds, ages and ethnicities, so we welcome diversity in our foster carers too. If you have no experience of fostering we’ll offer you training and help you get started gradually. If you are an experienced foster carer working for another agency or Local Authority you can easily transfer to us, including any children you currently have in placement.
Those with fostering or relevant professional experience could consider our specialist Integrated Therapeutic Fostering (ITF) scheme, which offers complex young people the chance to develop within family setting yet still receive the benefits of intensive therapeutic support.
All carers for AFA receive: - Personal support from an allocated social worker to help you with the practicalities of fostering - Regular support groups, home visits, and events for all the family - A generous weekly payment, with enhanced payments offered for some types of placement including Integrated Therapeutic Fostering - Advice on managing your finances as a self-employed foster carer - High quality training courses delivered by qualified therapists, social workers and medical professionals, including the chance to gain professional qualifications - 24/7 support from our on call team of social workers
AFA is a fast growing, independently owned foster care agency with a reputation for an ethical approach to providing high quality care. Owned and managed by experienced social workers, we put people before profit. With a head office in Norfolk, we operate throughout East Anglia and the East Midlands.
