Every child deserves a stable home where they know that they matter. Right now, some children and young people in and around Bury are living in residential care or away from their local community after experiencing trauma, loss, or instability. What they need now is a caring home where life feels calmer, more predictable, and full of possibility again. This type of specialist fostering is not about perfection. It’s about creating steady routines, offering reassurance, and being there for a child every day, even when things feel difficult or uncertain. If you have supported children or young people with complex or challenging behaviours, whether through your work or personal experience, you will know how powerful consistency, patience, and trust can be in helping someone feel secure and confident enough to move forward. With the right training and support around you, you can help give a child the stability they need, help them to build stronger relationships, and ultimately, move towards a more positive future. What the Role Involves: This specialist fostering role requires you to welcome a child or young person into your home and support them as part of your family. This is a full-time role where you will provide day-to-day care as the child’s primary carer. • Full-time care for a child or sibling group moving from residential care, • Providing stability, routine, and reassurance within a nurturing home, • Supporting the child’s emotional, behavioural, and social development, • Working closely with social workers, therapists and other professionals, • Keeping clear records and providing therapeutic, relationship-based care, • Helping children maintain family relationships through Family Time Who Can Apply to Become a Step-Forward Foster Carer?

What you can expect as a Step-Forward Foster Carer with Bury: • Enhanced fee of up to £53,308 per year (£1,029 per week) once a child is placed, • Weekly fostering allowance based on the child’s needs*, • Allowances for birthday, holiday and religious/cultural celebration*, • Adjustment fee paid for two weeks following the end of a placement, • Retainer fee for up to four weeks per year when between placements, • 50% Council Tax reduction Additionally, you will receive access to: • A dedicated Supervising Social Worker and 24/7 out of hours support, • Specialist therapeutic training and ongoing professional development, • Foster Carer support groups, buddy scheme, and peer network, • Membership to The Fostering Network for advice, training, and advocacy, • Discount schemes including Blue Light Card and Max Card Could This Be You?
