Do Something Incredible - Consider A Career In Foster Caring
With a shortage of foster carers in Northamptonshire, Foster Care Associates (FCA) wants to hear from potential foster families who are keen to make an incredible difference and provide a safe and stable home to young people in the region in 2015. FCA’s warm-hearted, yet resilient foster carers provide a safe and stable home to dozens of children and young people in the region ensuring that they receive the love, respect and care they need.
Julie Melck, fostering services manager from FCA, explained that FCA is continually seeking to attract new carers with a spare bedroom who believe they have the patience, understanding and determination to make a difference to young people’s lives. From people whose children have left home and single people, to families with teenagers, there are all kinds of families and individuals who can begin the hugely rewarding journey into foster care. In Northamptonshire, the FCA would really like to hear from potential foster carers to take on some of the more diffi cult-to-place children and young people. These could range from young people such as teenagers, as well as young mothers who want to be fostered with their own child.
According to FCA there are many factors that make up an ideal candidate - everything from being adaptable, resilient and nurturing to being a good listener and having a fl exible response to a young person’s needs.
From the very beginning, FCA provides ongoing support and generous fees to all of its carers, throughout the UK, and is dedicated to providing all the advice they need to make a positive impact on the children they look after. Anyone interested in fostering is invited to come along to one of FCA’s many fostering information events.
