Appeal for foster carers in West Sussex

From West Sussex County Council

Right now there are over 850 children in West Sussex we care for. All these children are in safe accommodation, with many living with local foster carers, but we also have a significant number of children waiting to find a foster family. Every child deserves a loving and local place they can call home but we urgently need to recruit more foster carers in order to provide them with this. Children aged between 11 and 17 account for 64% of those we care for and desperately need people who can guide them through this important and uncertain time in their lives. Helping them to develop into happy, confident and independent young adults. If you are over 21, with a spare bedroom and the ability to provide a safe, stable and supportive environment for vulnerable children, you could be a foster carer and we’d love to hear from you. As a foster carer for West Sussex County Council you will receive comprehensive training and ongoing 24/7 professional support. You will also receive a competitive financial package of up to £26,500 to help you look after a child in your care. To find out more information, call our friendly fostering recruitment team on 033 022 27775 or visit www.fosteringwestsussex.org.uk.

We are currently recruiting experience and empathetic support staff and nurses in your area. Our nurses pay rate is £40 an hour and Support Staff £18 an hour. The recruitment process is simple. If you know someone who could potentially make a difference, you could earn up to £500 for any successful referral.
