Grow a career in foster care

Plymouth urgently needs more foster carers for children and young people who cannot live with their families. We are currently running a big recruitment campaign to encourage more people to come forward.

Please visit our Become a foster carer pages to find out more about becoming a foster carer. Do our Could You Foster Quiz to find out whether you might be eligible - you might be pleasantly surprised at the result!

Please contact us if you would like a copy of our Fostering DVD to find out what it's really like to be a foster carer.

It’s never been a better time to become a foster carer. In October 2009 Plymouth City Council launched a new Payment for Skills career ladder for foster carers. This gives foster carers the chance to rise to higher payment levels as they develop their skills and experience.
