You've built a career supporting others But have you ever thought about doing it from your own home - and truly changing a life forever? We're looking for people with passion, patience, and experience to take the next step - not just into another job, but into a whole new way of making a difference. This is fostering - but not as you know it.
This is Lleol Fostering.
Lleol means local in Welsh and with fostering - maintaining locality is hugely important.
There are children and young people in and around the Flintshire area who need something more than just a traditional fostering placement. They need time, patience, expertise - and above all - someone who will believe in them and fight their corner.
We are looking for extraordinary people to join us as Lleol Foster Carers - including those who have worked as Housing Officers, helping individuals and families through difficult times, safeguarding vulnerable people, and coordinating support to help them thrive. If you've supported others through crisis, transition, or instability, you could make an incredible difference in a child's life by offering them a stable, caring home.
What makes Lleol Foster Carers different?
This is a specialist fostering role - supporting young people who are leaving high-support settings like residential care and helping them to transition to family life as smoothly as possible.
We take a therapeutic approach to professional parenting, giving you every opportunity to develop your skills through full training, exceptional support, and a team walking alongside you every step of the way.
