Supporting foster families to provide therapeutically-informed foster care in the North West and the Midlands.
Supporting foster families to provide therapeutically-informed foster care in the North West and the Midlands.
At Family Care, we all become part of a family. The young people in our care really benefit from a stable team, each of whom are properly supported by management to make a difference and effect real change.
So, if you are a Qualified Social Worker or a Support Worker with a wide range of experiences, Family Care might be for you. We can promise that no two days will be the same – a trip to Alton Towers with young people, a meeting with the Local Authority, a therapeutic team around the child (TAC) meeting or clinical supervision with our in-house therapists, every day will bring new challenges and rewards.

No matter what their skills and experience, all our Foster Carers rely on support and guidance from our Supervising Social Workers, Support Workers and Managers.
Providing a 24-hour service 'on call' is completed on a duty rota, so that we can be sure our carers can access advice when they need it, no matter the time of day.
Our Fostering team deliver training sessions, support groups and activities and consultation events to ensure that foster carers have the resources they need to make a lasting difference.
There is no getting away from some paperwork but with small caseloads of 12-14 families local to your home and the office, we want most of your time to be supporting carers and young people to achieve their goals.
We will support you with your personal and professional development, offering a wide range of training and learning opportunities for you to develop your skills as an effective Social Care Practitioner.
We employ people with a range of Social Care experience including Social Workers, Educators and Level 3 Qualified Residential Care staff.
However, we also welcome applications from individuals with no work experience in social care, but who have a wealth of life experience and a desire to make a difference.
To be the best we can be
Continuously improve and develop
Think outside the box
Leave a positive impact
