Job Description
Become a Step Forward Foster Carer – A Life-Changing Opportunity for Social Work Assistants
Foster with TACT Fostering and Bury Council
Please Note: This role requires you to be Self Employed
Are you a Social Work Assistant who is passionate about supporting vulnerable people and families? You already have the dedication, empathy, and commitment needed to make a profound difference in a young person’s life.
We are looking for compassionate, resilient individuals like you to become Step Forward Foster Carers — offering a safe, nurturing home to a young person transitioning from residential care. This is a unique opportunity to take the skills you’ve developed in your role and make a lasting, personal impact.
This could be your most rewarding role yet — offering not just care, but a future full of hope.
What is Step Forward Fostering?
Step Forward Fostering is a pioneering project that helps young people who have faced trauma, loss, and instability transition from residential care into a caring family environment.
These young people aren’t just looking for a place to stay — they need someone like you: a supportive adult who understands their needs, builds trust, and provides the consistency they’ve often lacked.
As a Step Forward Foster Carer, you’ll be part of a supportive team, working alongside professionals who are there to guide you every step of the way. You’ll never be alone on this journey.
What You’ll Receive:
We understand that caring for a young person with complex needs is a significant commitment. That’s why we provide comprehensive support — both emotionally and financially.
Specialist Support:
- Your own Senior Practitioner offering regular guidance and supervision
- A Family Wellbeing Worker to support you and your foster child
- A Hub Carer providing up to 28 days of planned short breaks every year
- 24/7 Out-of-Hours Support, ensuring you’re never alone
- Access to a network of other Step Forward Carers for peer support
- Ongoing training in trauma-informed care and understanding neurodevelopmental needs
- Therapeutic and psychological support to build on your existing skills
Financial Package:
We recognise the commitment it takes to support a young person with complex needs and offer a generous financial package to help you focus fully on providing stability and care.
- £1,052 per week while you have a child placed with you (around £4,704 a year )
- 08 per week retainer between placements (up to 1,216 a year )
- Extra allowances for birthdays, holidays, and cultural celebrations
- Tax exemptions specifically designed for foster carers
Is This You?
We are looking for Social Work Assistants who are:
- Passionate about making a difference beyond their current role
- Skilled in building positive, trusting relationships with children, young people, and families
- Resilient, empathetic, and committed to providing stability
- Ready to transfer their professional skills to a family-based setting
If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you!
Please note: Ideally, applicants should not have children under 16 living at home, but we consider each family situation individually.
To Be Eligible, You’ll Need:
- Experience working with children, young people, or families
- Full-time availability and a spare bedroom
- A willingness to complete our professional training
- The right to work in the UK
Take the next step in your career and become a Step Forward Foster Carer. Your experience as a Social Work Assistant could be the foundation for a truly life-changing role.
