A career as a foster carer could be just the job for you.
Paisley’s Kibble education and care centre has launched a new fostering service and they are looking for people to become foster carers.
The Intensive Fostering Service offers professional fees to foster carers from £23,500 to almost £25,000 a year with up to £10,715 a year in age-related maintenance allowances.
There is also 28 days paid respite a year and the chance to train for a nationally-recognised social care qualification.
Kibble is holding an information session for anyone interested in becoming a foster carer on Wednesday, August 11, between 6pm and 8.30pm, at their KibbleWorks 1 premises, Greenhill Business Park, Greenhill Road, Paisley. Project manager, Kay Gibson said: “Being a professional foster carer is a positive career choice. There are teachers, nurses and social workers who have become foster carers.
“Our project gives carers a generous financial package, training, qualifications, support and job satisfaction.” The youngster placed in foster care will attend school at Kibble during the day and return to the foster carer in the evening.
Kay Gibson continued: “Working one-to-one as a foster carer gives people the chance to make a positive difference to a youngster’s life.”
