Arise Fostering Agency is committed to recruiting, assessing, training, and supporting foster carers who are skilled, reflective, and able to meet the individual needs of children and young people. Foster carers play a vital role in providing safe, stable, and nurturing environments that promote resilience, recovery, and positive life outcomes.
We welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds who are able to provide a safe and supportive home environment. All applicants are required to demonstrate the ability to safeguard children, promote their welfare, and work as part of a professional team.
Applicants will undergo a thorough, fair, and robust assessment process in accordance with statutory guidance, including enhanced DBS checks and comprehensive referencing.
Our recruitment process is designed to ensure that all foster carers are suitable and well-prepared. This includes a detailed assessment of applicants’ capacity to meet the needs of children and promote their welfare. Completed assessments are presented to the Fostering Panel for independent scrutiny before approval.
All foster carers are required to complete mandatory pre-approval training and are supported to complete the Training, Support and Development (TSD) Standards within required timescales. Ongoing learning opportunities are provided, including safeguarding and child protection, trauma-informed care, attachment and child development, managing behaviour positively, and equality and diversity. Training records are maintained, and compliance is monitored.
Each foster carer is allocated a qualified and experienced Supervising Social Worker and receives regular supervision in line with national standards. Annual foster carer reviews are conducted, and carers are provided with written supervision records and action plans.
Foster carers also receive 24-hour out-of-hours support and access to professional advice when required, ensuring they are fully supported in their role.
Foster carers are recognised as valued professionals and key partners in delivering high-quality care. They work collaboratively with social workers, local authorities, and other professionals to support children’s development, wellbeing, and outcomes.
Carers are expected to promote stability, support education and health needs, encourage positive relationships, and ensure children’s voices are heard and respected.
If you are interested in becoming a foster carer, you can begin the process by making an enquiry with our team. We will provide guidance throughout each stage of the application, assessment, and approval process to ensure you are fully prepared for the role.
