Book a place on our free one day Introduction to Fostering course in Brighton on 13th June!About us
Blue Sky Fostering was established five years ago in order to help young people in the area who could not live at home and needed to go into foster care. There is a shortage of 10,000 foster carers in the UK and we are determined to help meet this need in our region. Blue Sky Fostering is established enough to offer security but small enough to still offer the personal touch often missing from larger providers. This allows us to provide a friendly, supportive and professional service to all of our foster carers across the south of England. We started out covering Hampshire and Dorset but now have teams of social workers based across the whole of the south of England including East and West Sussex. Your Blue Sky Fostering team are based in our office in Shoreham.
We need more foster carers in the Brighton area!
We are always looking for foster carers in the Brighton area particularly those who are prepared to foster teenagers and mother and baby placements. We prefer to place children with foster carers who reflect their own background so we need carers from all cultures and religions.
If you tick all of these boxes, fostering could be the right career for you:
- A spare bedroom
- Willingness to include the looked after child in your family home
- Flexibility, determination, optimism and a good sense of humour
- Some experience of looking after children - at home or in a work environment
- Enthusiasm and commitment
- Prepared to foster from a wide age range
- I WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO A YOUNG PERSON'S LIFE!
