People with experience of health, caring and education or youth work are being recruited to a career in fostering with City of York Council.
Interested individuals, couples or those with families are being invited to meet local need for foster care for older children and young people who are unable to live with their own families.
Also, more experienced carers are being recruited to foster children and young people with additional needs such as learning or physical disabilities, for short breaks or the longer term.
Besides ongoing training and support for carers from the council’s team as well as from local foster carers, a financial package is provided that recognises the foster carer’s commitment and care and the level of need they support.
