Existing Foster Carer
Already a Foster Carer?
If you are already a Foster Carer with an independent fostering agency or another Local Authority, we would love to hear from you. As a transfer, your assessment will be prioritised, as we know you already have the experience and skills to foster. And, as a Local Authority Foster Carer, you will always be our first choice when seeking a foster home for a young person in our care.
We have a dedicated Transfer Hub within our Fostering Recruitment team. These social workers are experienced in assessing transferring Foster Carers, working in partnership with your current agency to make the process as swift and smooth for you as possible.
