What do foster carers do?
As a foster carer, you’ll give vulnerable children from Solihull a safe environment to grow and learn, helping to improve their confidence and happiness one day at a time.
Depending on the child’s individual circumstances, you may provide care for a couple of days, a few years or until adulthood. There are many types of fostering, including full-time, part-time and specialist care.
To carry out the role of a foster carer, you’ll be supported by a highly professional team of social workers and offered on-going training.
You will work as part of a team of professionals to help create a better future for Solihull's children and young people.
We believe that all Solihull’s children should grow up with a sense of belonging. All children and young people should grow up feeling safe, supported and appreciated.
Anna Stephens, Head of Service for Fostering, Adoption and Residential Children’s Homes
