Foster Carer
Angus Council are recruiting Foster Carers to look after children and young people aged 0-18 years. Foster care is a way of providing a family life for children who cannot live with their own parents. Foster care is often used to provide temporary care while parents get help sorting out problems, or to help children or young people through a difficult period in their lives. Often children will return home once the problems that caused them to come into foster care have been resolved and it is clear that their parents are able to look after them safely. Others may stay in long-term foster care, some may be adopted, and others will move on to live independently.

The very basic criteria to become an Angus Foster Carer are:
  • You have at least 1 dedicated spare bedroom
  • You have no previous crimes against children
Beyond these basic requirements, our application and assessment process is very individual to the household. You will receive advice and guidance from the team all along the way. Once approved, you will receive continuous training and support that you need to develop your skills as a foster carer.

Personal qualities you need:
  • to work as part of a team that can include the child's family, social workers, teachers and other key professional staff
  • to be flexible and non-judgmental
  • to be able to negotiate and compromise
  • a sense of humour
  • enthusiasm for looking after children
The Rewards:

Foster care isn't all about giving - you can get so much out of the experience - one that can enrich the lives of everyone close to you. You will be making a difference to a child's life - often seeing their confidence and self esteem grow.

Financial Rewards
 
Angus Council have a system is in place to give foster carers more recognition and payment for the professional job they do.

As an example, a carer approved to take two children aged 8 and 13 receive the following allowances; Level 1 carer receives up to £30,000, a Level 2 carer receives up to £33,000 and a Level 3 carer receives up to £40,000.

You can foster:

  • If you are single, cohabiting or married
  • If you have a disability or medical condition (as long as it doesn't affect your ability to care for a child) 
  •  Whether you have children or not
  • If you are living in your own house or rented accommodation 
  • If you are working or unemployed on state benefits 
  • If you don’t have any special qualifications – it is your attitude and approach to life that counts 
  • If you are retired
  • Irrespective of your gender, religion, race or culture - we need carers from all different walks of life in order to match children and young people with suitable families
  • Irrespective of your sexual orientation
