Fostering is a deeply rewarding yet sometimes challenging journey. At PACFS, we recognize the importance of financial support for our carers, though fostering should ultimately be driven by a passion for making a difference in children’s lives.
While PACFS primarily specializes in Parent and Child foster placements, we also offer a variety of fostering services, allowing carers to choose the best fit for their skills and experience.
We welcome foster carers from all backgrounds, valuing the diverse life experiences and skills they bring to the role. A criminal record does not automatically disqualify an applicant; however, certain offences or circumstances may impact the application process.
Our carers receive a comprehensive support package, including:
✅ Dedicated Social Worker Support – Regular visits from a qualified Social Worker.
✅ Home Insurance Protection – Additional cover for willful damage.
✅ Ongoing Training – Tailored programs to enhance skills and confidence.
✅ Support Groups – Regular meetings with fellow foster carers.
✅ Agency Involvement – Opportunities to provide feedback and help shape our services.
✅ Children’s Activities – Organized events for children in placement.
✅ Direct Access to Leadership – Support from the Director and Registered Manager.
✅ Specialist Skills Training – Development opportunities for carers.
✅ Competitive Financial Remuneration – Recognizing skills and experience.
✅ Practical Support – Assistance with school enrollment, GP registration, and other essentials.
✅ Additional Resources – Extra support for the child as needed.
Fostering with PACFS means becoming part of a strong, supportive community dedicated to giving children and young people the best possible future. If you’d like to learn more, get in touch—we’d love to hear from you!
