Become a Step Forward Foster Carer – A Life-Changing Opportunity for Healthcare Assistants and Support Workers
Foster with TACT Fostering and Bury Council

Please note: This role requires you to be self-Employed

Have you worked as a healthcare assistant, support worker, or in another role caring for vulnerable people? You already have the compassion, patience, and dedication needed to change a young person’s life. We are looking for people just like you to become Step Forward Foster Carers — offering a safe, nurturing home to a young person moving from residential care. This is a unique opportunity to use your care skills in a deeply personal and life-changing way.

This could be your most meaningful and 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 to transition from residential care into a loving family environment.

These young people aren’t just looking for a roof over their heads — they need someone like you: a caring adult who can offer emotional support, guidance, and the consistency they’ve often lacked.

As a Step Forward Foster Carer, you won’t be doing this alone. You’ll be part of a supportive team, working alongside professionals who are there to help you every step of the way.

What You’ll Receive:

We know that caring for a child with complex needs is a big commitment. That’s why you’ll be fully supported — 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, so you’re never alone
• Access to a peer network of other Step Forward Carers
• Ongoing training in trauma-informed care and neurodevelopmental needs
• Therapeutic and psychological support to strengthen your skills

Financial Package:

Caring for a young person with complex needs takes exceptional commitment. To reflect this, we offer a generous financial package, supporting you to focus fully on providing the stability and care each child deserves.

• £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 religious celebrations
• Tax exemptions designed especially for foster carers

Is This You?

We are looking for people who are:

• Compassionate and emotionally resilient
• Experienced in caring for vulnerable people (whether children, adults, or both)
• Confident in building trusting relationships
• Committed to making a real, lasting difference in a young person’s life

Then you could be exactly who we’re looking for.

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 supporting vulnerable children, young people, or adults
• Full-time availability and a spare bedroom
• A willingness to complete our professional training
• The right to work in the UK

You've Already Made a Difference – Now Make It Personal.

You have the heart, the skills, and the drive. Now, Step Forward and become the healing presence a child needs.

This isn’t just offering a home – it’s offering hope, security, and a future.

Apply today and find out how fostering could be the most powerful decision you’ll ever make.
