You give so much, we believe you deserve the best. The heart of fostering is your dedication, and we want to make sure you feel truly valued for it. We are committed to providing the highest support in the industry." It’s our way of ensuring that while you look after the children, we look after you.

 Maybe you’re looking for a fresh challenge, or you’re keen to make the most of your skills. Perhaps you’d like the opportunity to do different types of fostering you haven’t done before or be paid more generously for your expertise. 

As you’re already an experienced foster carer, you certainly understand the importance and impact of high quality foster care to children and young people in need.

• We offer the highest rates of pay in the industry and annual fostering allowance increases
• A fostering agency that helps you be your best in your role
• Excellent free fostercare support & training, including specialisms
• A team with established relationships with all local authorities

Our goal is to build incredible futures for vulnerable children and young people in the UK by empowering them to be happy and make their way in the world.

We achieve this by investing in our foster carers, so you can give children and young people a safe, supportive and nurturing environment where they can thrive and be happy.

We encourage you to further your career as a foster carer through training. Our training courses are available to all our foster carers. They’re completely free, high-quality and flexible. Created and delivered by fostering professionals, they give you valuable skills to help you grow in confidence and knowledge. Plus, they fit around your lifestyle – they are delivered at a venue local to you or online.

You shouldn’t have to worry about financial security – we want you to be able to focus whole heartedly on your role as foster carer. So we offer a  generous fostering allowance.

 Moving to a new fostering agency shouldn’t feel like you’re starting your career from scratch. At dmf foster care, we’ve made joining our family a smooth, stress-free experience that truly values the expertise you already bring to the table. We believe in honouring your professional journey, which is why we’ve replaced lengthy traditional paperwork with our own Bespoke Transferring Carer Assessment. Instead of making you repeat things you already know, we focus on your existing skills, training, and hands-on knowledge. This allows us to tailor the process specifically to you, identifying the areas where we can best support your growth and make the transition feel like a natural next step in your career. 

If you’re a foster carer, you have the right to transfer from another foster agency or transfer from a local authority to dmf foster care. The process is fairly straight forward, and you can still do it if you are currently fostering a child.

It’s straight forward to transfer from your current fostering agency or local authority provider. The process might vary slightly between providers. We’ll make the process as easy as possible.
