Fostering South West is a collective of 15 local councils working together to provide safe and loving homes for children in care. By joining our fostering community in Bristol, you’ll be helping to create a brighter future for some of the most vulnerable children and young people in our society.
The Role:
We are looking for foster carers in Bristol to provide stability and support to children who need it most. Many children in care face unique challenges, including the need for long-term placements, staying with siblings, or support for special educational needs or disabilities (SEND). Your role as a foster carer will be to offer a nurturing environment where children feel safe, loved, and empowered to reach their full potential.
This is more than just offering a place to stay—it’s about becoming a positive and dependable presence in a child’s life, helping them overcome challenges and build a brighter future.
What We Offer:
- 24/7 Support: Our dedicated team is on hand around the clock to offer advice, guidance, and reassurance.
- Specialist Training: We provide comprehensive training tailored to the needs of foster carers, including supporting children with trauma and SEND.
- Community Support: Join a network of foster carers in Bristol and share experiences, advice, and encouragement.
- Local Expertise: Access area-specific resources and support designed to meet the unique needs of Bristol’s fostering community.
Who We’re Looking For:
We welcome individuals and families from all walks of life. Whether you’re single, married, or part of a blended family, fostering is open to you. All we ask is that you have the compassion, patience, and commitment to provide a stable and loving home.
Why Foster with Us?
Fostering is a life-changing experience—for both the children you care for and for you as a carer. By offering a child in need the opportunity to feel secure, supported, and valued, you’ll be making an extraordinary impact that lasts a lifetime.
