We are looking for caring, compassionate and open-minded people who have some knowledge, skills and experience of the needs of children with disabilities.
Fostering a child with disabilities can be a very rewarding experience. The impact a foster carer can have on the life of a child with disabilities is remarkable.
There are different ways you can get involved. Maybe you could offer a safe and secure short break to assist a full-time foster carer or a family. This could be for one afternoon every few weeks, an overnight, or a weekend. Alternatively, you may feel able to commit to providing short-term or full-time care to a child.
As an approved HSC NI foster carer, you will become part of our diverse fostering community, and will receive bespoke training and development, ongoing support, and fees/allowances.
