Foster Carer
Fostering

 

Foster Carer

 

Earn £132 to £194 a week plus extra allowances (dependent on number of children in placement, age of children and level of experience)

 

People who foster come in all shapes and sizes. We're looking for the qualities of patience, care, love, support and energy.

 

​​​There's no typical profile of a foster carer. We want to recruit a diverse range of foster carers regardless of sexuality, ethnicity, religion or marital status.

We've worked with a wide range of people - providing homes for children with heterosexual couples, same sex couples, families who already have children and single foster carers.

We particularly need foster carers who will consider fostering children of high school age, brothers and sisters so they can remain together, children with complex emotional and behavioural needs and foster carers who can offer a placement to a young parent and child.

There are few restrictions but basically you must:

  • Have a spare bedroom in your home
  • Be over 21 

 

There's a real need for foster carers across the borough of Rochdale. Our team are waiting to talk to you. Contact us on 0300 303 1000 / foster@rochdale.gov.uk

 

You can also find out more about fostering and hear from some of our current foster carers on our website rochdale.gov.uk/fostering
