Becoming a foster carer

Priory Fostering Services is part of the the Priory Group which is the UK's leading provider of acute mental healthcare and specialist education services. We pride ourselves on providing high levels of support and training for our carers within a friendly, enthusiastic and dynamic team. Whether you are new to fostering or an experienced foster carer, Priory Fostering Services can meet your needs.

Our foster carers come from all walks of life. All we look for is people who are child centered and have the ability to care for other people's children. As a foster carer you will be at the centre of a team of dedicated professionals all working towards the same goal. Children in care can be vulnerable and challenging and being a foster carer can sometimes be difficult. The need to have stickability, resilience and a good sense of humour therefore always comes in handy. Foster carers must also have a spare bedroom and children under 5 years of age cannot be placed with foster carers who smoke.

If you are interested in fostering, either as a new or experienced foster carer, Priory Fostering Services are keen to hear from you. Please call us on 01684 560 333 or send an email to fostering@priorygroup.com

As an equal opportunities employer Priory Fostering Services encourage applications from black and ethnic minority carers and a non-discriminatory assessment process is used.
