Become a Lleol (local) Foster Carer with Flintshire County Council

Annual Fee: £50,000 + up to £3,453.96 in Weekly Allowances
Plus, additional payments for holidays, birthdays & Christmas

You’ve built a career supporting others…

But have you ever thought about doing it from your own home – and truly changing a life forever?

We’re looking for people with passion, patience, and experience to take the next step – not just into another job, but into a whole new way of making a difference.

This is fostering – but not as you know it.
This is Lleol Fostering .

Lleol means local in Welsh and with fostering – maintaining locality is hugely important.
There are children and young people in and around the Flintshire area who need something more than just a traditional fostering placement. They need time, patience, expertise — and above all — someone who will believe in them and fight their corner.

We are looking for extraordinary people to join us as Lleol Foster Carers – including those who have worked as Crisis Intervention Workers , helping young people through intense emotional distress, trauma, or mental health challenges. If you’ve de-escalated crisis situations, offered immediate support and stabilisation, or advocated for vulnerable individuals in high-stress environments, your calm, compassionate presence could offer a child the one thing they need most — a safe and therapeutic home where they can begin to heal.

This is a specialist fostering role — supporting young people who are leaving high-support settings like residential care and helping them to transition to family life as smoothly as possible.

We take a therapeutic approach to professional parenting, giving you every opportunity to develop your skills through full training, exceptional support, and a team walking alongside you every step of the way.

• £50,000 Annual Fee recognisi your dedicated time, skill & commitment

• Up to 58.79 Weekly Fostering Allowance (over 3,453 annually)

• Additional Allowances for Birthdays, Holidays & Christmas

• Access to a linked Lleol Support Foster Carer – for practical help and respite

• 50% discount on your Council Tax payments

• Therapeutic Training & Qualifications

• Membership to The Fostering Network

• Access to the Mockingbird Support Model

• Blue Light Card membership – access to more than 15,000 discounts nationwide

• Reward & Recognition via the CareFriends App

• Regular Wellbeing events & Peer Support groups

We’re looking for individuals or couples who:

• Have professional or personal experience in supporting children & young people

• Can provide a nurturing, therapeutic home environment

• Have at least one spare bedroom that can be dedicated to fostering

• Hold a full driving licence

• Are able to offer their full-time commitment to this role

• Can work as part of a professional team, attend meetings, and engage in training

• Are resilient, reflective, and ready to parent in a new and guided way

• Are open to registering as self-employed

Ideally, you won’t have other children under 16 living in your home (though exceptions may apply dependent on individual fostering experience).

If you’ve worked as a:

• Crisis Intervention Worker

• Crisis Response Practitioner

• Youth Mental Health Worker

• Emergency Duty Team Member
  …then your ability to remain calm under pressure, support in moments of crisis, and promote long-term emotional safety could make you an outstanding foster carer.
