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.
