Below is a message from a local fostering facility:

 “At Nexus Fostering based in Gloucester, we’re looking for local people like you to become foster carers. By providing a loving and stable home environment, you can support the increasing number of children and young people in the local area who cannot live in their family homes. Not all children require long-term care. We also need foster carers for short-term placements, respite care, and to provide temporary homes to support young parents and their babies.

 Do you have what it takes for a rewarding career in fostering?

• Your everyday experiences and skills are transferable into a foster carer role, from providing emotional support to teaching life skills
• Fostering roles are suitable for individuals, couples or families from all walks of life. All children are different; foster carers are too
• We offer many different types of fostering roles, including short-term, parent and child, therapeutic and long-term
• Be part of a professional team and receive ongoing comprehensive training
• Receive generous fostering allowances, benefits and tax relief.

As a foster carer, you could provide a safe and stable home environment for a vulnerable child whilst enjoying a flexible and rewarding career that will literally be life changing.

So, if you have a spare room and are ready to change lives, please give us a call on 01452491980 or email Bridget Fletcher on bridgetf@nexusfostering.co.uk.  Thank you.”
