Ever thought about being
a foster carer? You could
transform a child’s life and
develop your own skills and
career with AFA, a leading foster
care agency now recruiting in
Northamptonshire.

We are looking for people who
could care for vulnerable children,
welcoming them into your family
and helping them to thrive. You’ll
undergo a thorough assessment
process and attend our renowned
training programmes to help you
learn all about fostering.

We look after children from all
sorts of backgrounds, ages
and ethnicities, so we welcome
diversity in our foster carers too.
If you have no experience of
fostering we’ll offer you training
and help you get started gradually.
If you are an experienced foster carer
working for another agency or Local
Authority you can easily transfer to us,
including any children you currently have in
placement.

Those with fostering or relevant professional
experience could consider our specialist
Integrated Therapeutic Fostering (ITF)
scheme, which offers complex young people
the chance to develop within family setting
yet still receive the benefits of intensive
therapeutic support.

All carers for AFA receive:
- Personal support from an allocated social
worker to help you with the practicalities
of fostering
- Regular support groups, home visits, and
events for all the family
- A generous weekly payment, with
enhanced payments offered for some
types of placement including Integrated
Therapeutic Fostering
- Advice on managing your finances as a
self-employed foster carer
- High quality training courses delivered
by qualified therapists, social workers
and medical professionals, including the
chance to gain professional qualifications
- 24/7 support from our on call team of
social workers

AFA is a fast growing, independently owned
foster care agency with a reputation for an
ethical approach to providing high quality
care. Owned and managed by experienced
social workers, we put people before profit.
With a head office in Norfolk, we operate
throughout East Anglia and the East
Midlands.
