Searching For Foster Carers
Being a foster carer enables you to have a career where you can work from home and earn a good income, looking after a child, young person or parent and child in your own home.
Fostering with Lighthouse
As a foster carer, you have the opportunity to make a real difference to the life of a child or young person.
The true meaning of fostering is to provide vulnerable children and young people with the love, care and support they need to improve their outcomes and succeed. Our foster families provide our children and young people with an environment within which they can thrive and make a difference in their lives.

Reward Pathway
The reward pathway is an additional weekly payment made to foster carers whilst they have a child/parent and child in their care. This payment is in recognition of the different experience, knowledge, and skills they have, as well as length of service and being able to evidence how they work over and beyond the day to day fostering role to benefit the children and young people in their care.
