Vacancies
We have the following vacancies; Trustees in Gloucestershire and we are also recruiting foster carers in Gloucestershire and West Cumbria. Read below for further details of each vacancy.
Foster Carers - Gloucestershire
We are currently recruiting foster carers in Gloucestershire for children and young people aged 0-18 years and also for our Asylum Seekers Project where the young men are aged 14+. Whilst we do not tend to place babies we do offer Gloucestershire County Council parent & child assessments based in the foster home and this project has been very successful, we have also been successful in fostering sibling groups from two years - nine years and therefore have a need for foster carers to come forward. We will provide the training you will need to ensure you work at part of a team, improve the life chances and choices of children and young people and further enhance your own skills. If you are interested in discussing any of these opportunities further please contact Chris Cawkwell on 01452 731144.
