You can be a full-time carer for our children, or you can balance fostering with working outside of the home. We welcome applications from people who have not parented before, and from carers who may already have children or grandchildren. Our children need homes for lots of different reasons and different lengths of time. They may need a home for one day, one year, or for the rest of their childhood, but no matter how long you care for a child, you will have a lasting impact on the rest of their lives. Our generous financial payments/allowances help you to provide care for a local child and/or children, whether that be on a short or long-term basis. As a Foster Carer, you will be home based and will have full support from our experienced in-house fostering team, based at Market Place, South Shields.
