A professional career working from home

Work from home as a foster carer and offer a child a shining future

If you are someone who has been thinking of becoming a foster carer over the years, then now really is the time to contact us. You have the opportunity to take on the role of a professional key worker right from your own home.

We have all been significantly affected by COVID this year and one of the impact is that many have lost their businesses and jobs, especially those who could not resume their work from home.

More people are realising that working from home means more job security For many this also means, to stay safe and keep others safe by not getting on public transport every morning to be at work. This maybe the reason why we have experienced an increased number of enquiries about becoming a foster carer during this time.

We have all learned and adapt quickly to the current situation in order to fulfill our duties. In fact our foster carers as well as our staff are happy to be able to work remotely during these uncertain times. The role of the foster carer remains almost the same except for meetings with the social worker or team catch ups being conducted virtually.

Obviously, foster carers and children had to navigate the change in their daily routines, especially during the lockdown. But what has been highlighted is the resilience, flexibility, patience and ongoing support that our foster carers have maintained for the children during this time. It is all about encouraging development and allowing a child to grow and take control of their own lives.
