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.
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 wholeheartedly on your role as foster parent. So we offer a generous fostering allowance – the average is around £28,000 per annum, tax free.
Transferring to an agency with National Fostering Group from your current fostering agency or local authority provider is a straightforward process, and we aim to make it as easy as possible for you.
To make the transition to National Fostering Group an easy and relaxed process, you no longer have to redo your Form F. Instead, we have created a bespoke transferring carer assessment when you want to transfer to National Fostering Group. We will go off your current experience, skills, training, and knowledge to identify which parts of the assessment would benefit you the most.
If you’re a foster carer, you have the right to transfer from another foster agency or transfer from a local authority to dmf fostercare. The process is fairly straightforward, and you can still do it if you are currently fostering a child.
It’s straightforward 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.
