Job Description

Have you been on a journey that has seen you support children or young people - perhaps in education, care, or wellbeing roles?

Have you ever wondered whether you could make that difference from your own home?

With Foster Wales Cardiff, you can take the experience you already have and use it in the most powerful way possible: by offering stability and belonging to a young person who needs it most.

About the role

Foster carers open their homes and hearts to children and young people who can't live with their birth families, providing a safe, stable, and supportive environment. Children may stay on a short-term basis, lasting just a few days or weeks, or on a long-term basis, continuing for several years.

Fostering is often a life-changing journey - not just for the child, but for the carer too. As a foster carer, you'll work alongside a committed team to support young people through challenging times, helping them feel secure, rebuild trust, and reach their full potential.
