IFS is the Intensive Fostering Service within Kibble Education and Care Centre in Paisley. We are recruiting a full-time foster carer who will be required to look after a young person (male or female, aged between 8 -18) who sometimes may have troublesome behaviours.

All our carers are required to complete an HNC and SVQ3 in child care, which would be funded by us at IFS. As with any foster carer position you are self-employed, and should be aware that there are exceptional tax benefits attributed to this position. As well as your professional fee, when you have children in placement, you will also be given a daily allowance for each young person in your care.

For further information, please contact Kay Gibson, Operations manager on 0141 889 0044.
