Foster Carer – Cornwall

Job Description

Fostering South West unites 15 local councils with the mission of ensuring that every child in care has a loving and supportive home. By fostering with us in Cornwall, you’ll become part of a network that is making a real difference in the lives of vulnerable children.

The Role:

We are seeking foster carers in Cornwall to provide a nurturing and supportive environment for children in care. Many children require long-term placements or need to stay with their siblings. Others may have additional needs such as SEND, requiring carers who can offer patience, understanding, and tailored support.

Your role as a foster carer goes far beyond offering a safe place to stay. It’s about creating a home filled with love, care, and the opportunity for children to thrive. Whether it’s helping them achieve in school, exploring their hobbies, or simply being a listening ear, you will be shaping their future in meaningful ways.

What We Offer:

  • Round-the-Clock Assistance: Support is available whenever you need it, day or night.
  • Comprehensive Training: Gain the skills and knowledge needed to support children with diverse needs, including SEND and trauma care.
  • Community Network: Connect with other foster carers in Cornwall to share experiences and advice.
  • Localised Resources: Access guidance and support tailored to the fostering landscape in Cornwall.

Who We’re Looking For:

We welcome people from all backgrounds, whether you’re single, married, or part of a family. What matters most is your ability to provide a stable and loving home for a child in need.

Why Foster with Us?

Fostering offers a unique opportunity to give back to your community while experiencing the joy of watching children overcome challenges and thrive under your care.
