Therapeutic foster carers in Buckinghamshire

Buckinghamshire Council’s Foster with Bucks service is looking for compassionate, resilient people who can offer a stable and loving home to children and young people with complex needs.

Therapeutic fostering provides children who may be ready to move from residential care or may not be suited to standard foster care, and would benefit from the stability of a family home with the care, consistency and support they need to thrive.

This is not a traditional job advert. It is an opportunity to make a lasting difference to a child’s life while receiving advanced training, ongoing dedicated support and enhanced financial allowances of up to £56,000 a year. 

About the Role 

• Enhanced financial allowances of up to £56,000 a year to recognise the high level of care provided.
• Advanced therapeutic training to help you understand and respond to children’s needs with confidence.
• 24/7 tailored support from dedicated fostering and children’s services teams. 

About You

You do not need to have fostered before. Your experiences and skills within your police career, such as a commitment to protecting others, teamwork, integrity and communication could help you on your fostering journey. We would like to hear from people who have patience, empathy, resilience and the ability to provide a calm, consistent home environment.

If you have the space in your heart and home to change the life of a child who needs stability, care and understanding, we would love to hear from you. Visit our website to learn more.
