Here at Coventry City Council’s fostering service we are recruiting people to join a small team of dedicated foster carers to provide care and support for some of Coventry’s most vulnerable children and young people.
Fostering on our 'Next Steps' scheme means that you will look after a young person in your home, adopting a therapeutic approach on a 1:1 basis so that those children and young people on the scheme can receive a level of nurture and support to help them to take their next steps onto positive pathways.
Foster carers on the scheme will join our small dedicated team, with bespoke training and support packages as well as 1:1 and peer group reflection and all the advantages of being a Coventry City Council foster carer.
To be assessed for the scheme you should be able to demonstrate:
In return the scheme offers:
‘The reward of knowing you have helped change a young person’s life is incredible, and not just their life, but the lives of their future children, and grandchildren- breaking a negative spiral and helping them to create a better future for themselves. I can't think of anything I'd rather do’
"Seeing them make small but confident
steps on their own journey...You can’t solve all their problems, or make everything better but you can give them a belief in themselves and be a role model for their future lives and own families going forward. That’s what makes it all worthwhile"
