Foster carers come from a variety of backgrounds. We are looking for people who have time, patience and flexibility. To be considered you must:
- have a spare bedroom
- be over the age of 21
- be willing to work closely with social workers

Specific qualifications are not necessary. An interest in children, enthusiasm and good energy levels are essential. People who foster with us generally have a good sense of humour and can deal with a variety of issues with sensitivity. You must be able to gauge and understand the needs of a child who may have certain problems.
