Why Choose Us

When you foster with Caritas Care, you’re never on your own.

You’ll receive comprehensive preparation training, a dedicated supervising social worker, regular support visits and access to a 24-hour out of hours support service. We also offer ongoing training and development opportunities to help you grow in confidence and develop your skills throughout your fostering journey.

Children’s needs don’t stop at 5pm, neither does our support.

Many of our foster carers tell us that Caritas Care feels different.

As a charity, we pride ourselves on building genuine relationship with our carers. You’ll become part of a supportive fostering community where you’ll meet other carers, share experiences and know that there’s always someone to turn to for advice or encouragement.

There is no single definition of a foster carer.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, faiths, cultures, sexualities and relationship statuses. Whether you’re single, married, in a partnership, or own your own home or rent, what matters most is your ability to provide a safe, stable and nurturing home for a child.

We believe diversity strengthens fostering and helps children find families where they feel accepted and understood.

Our fostering service is built on experience, professionalism and compassion.

We take time to ensure you feel fully prepared for fostering through high-quality training and personalised support. Our dedicated team works alongside you to help you understand children’s experiences and develop the skills needed to help them recover from trauma and build brighter futures.

You’ll always have someone to turn to for guidance, reassurance and practical support.

Fostering is about so much more than providing a bed for the night. It’s about offering stability, love, encouragement and hope when children need it most.

At Caritas Care, we’re passionate about helping children reach their full potential while supporting foster carers to confident, valued and equipped for the incredible role they play.
