Fostering Eastbourne and East Sussex
We are an Independent Fostering Agency covering the south of England including Eastbourne and East Sussex.
Do you have what it takes to become a professional foster carer and help a child or young person in Eastbourne?
We are always looking for determined, patient and tolerant people with a good sense of humour to become a foster carer in Eastbourne and East Sussex. Some experience of childcare would be helpful but above all you must have the desire to make a lasting difference to a young person's life by providing a safe and secure environment in your home. You must have a spare bedroom, a driving license with access to a car and the determination to succeed. Our foster carers in the area are supported by our experienced team based in our office in Shoreham.
