Looking for a new challenge
this year?
We make many resolutions at this time of year, whether it’s to give more of our time to others, to spend more time with family, to give back to the local community or to learn new skills. If your 2021 resolutions look like this, or you have it in your heart to make a difference, then fostering could be for you. Almost anyone from all walks of life can foster, whether you practice a religion, have or haven’t got children, are married, single or in a same-sex relationship. It doesn’t even matter if you have pets at home or think you’re too old… You’re needed! All that is asked, is that you have a spare bedroom.
Nexus Fostering, a local, friendly and professional fostering agency are recruiting Foster Carers in Bedford to support local vulnerable young people. Nexus Fostering offer full training, so you don’t need to come from a background of working with children and you’ll be supported right from the start. You’ll receive a competitive ‘fostering allowance’ which covers the professional fee to you as a Foster Carer as well as covering the cost for caring for the child. You’ll also receive 24/7 support from them and assigned your own Social Worker. Being a Foster Carer means that you’ll be able to have a fulfilling career as a highly trained carer whilst making a difference to the lives of vulnerable children in Bedford. You’ll become a member of a wider team working towards the health, happiness and stability of young people and be valued and recognised for the contribution you make to supporting children. 30
