Room4U Fostering
Providing full time, short break and continuing care foster placements for teenagers and young parents and their babies.
Fostering Changes Lives
Some young people are unable to stay at home, instead needing time and guidance from caregivers in another setting. In a number of cases, that setting is with a foster family.
Room4U Fostering was founded in part due to a high number of young people over 12 who required care and a safe family environment.
If you are interested in making a difference in a young person’s life by becoming a foster carer, get in touch!
Training And Support
Our trained and supported Room4U foster carers provide short or long-term care, until the young person they are looking after is ready for independence. In the right foster family, a young person can thrive and have a better start towards adulthood.
All foster carers are designated their own Supervising Social Worker, and on-call support and advice is provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Training is available, including our Skills to Foster course and the opportunity to take an SVQ3 qualification.
Fees And Allowances
As a Room4U foster carer, you will receive competitive professional fees and allowances which reflect the skilled and demanding work you will be doing. The current weekly fee is £474, and the weekly allowance is £191.
