Fostering in Wolverhampton
You could change a child’s life by becoming a foster carer in Wolverhampton. Many children and young people come into care each week, and you could provide them with caring and supportive homes – helping them recover from any trauma that they may have experienced. Conflict in the family, or a long term illness are just some of the reasons why young people come into care. Unfortunately, the most common reason is abuse or neglect. TACT are recruiting foster carers in Wolverhampton in order to provide these vulnerable young people with safe and caring homes.
No previous childcare experience is necessary to start fostering in Wolverhampton, as full training will be provided. To start the application process, you just need at least one spare bedroom in your home, a caring and nurturing character – and lots of energy to provide a child with a secure and loving home. If this sounds like something that you could do, you could join our Wolverhampton Fostering Team!
Watch Samantha, one of our West Midlands foster carers, talk about what it is like to be a TACT foster carer:
Why foster in Wolverhampton with TACT?
TACT is the UK’s largest dedicated fostering charity – enabling us to provide care for children on a national level. We reinvest any surplus income into providing more support and training for foster carers interested in fostering.
As one of the leading fostering agencies in Wolverhampton, we provide our foster carers with training and support that is local to them – to enable them to change young people’s lives. We work closely with Wolverhampton Social Services to match our team of foster carers to children who desperately need a home. Because we reinvest surplus income, we can provide additional support over and above what is required of a fostering charity, such as a dedicated education service and an online foster carer portal. We are even currently developing our own specialist health service.
We’re more than just a fostering agency – we go above and beyond to look after our foster carers and the children they provide care for. Our TACT Connect service ensures that when children leave the care system, they have TACT’s support for life.
This is why 96% of our carers would recommend us to others thinking of fostering.
“We’ve been incredibly supported by all in the TACT West Midlands team. Any issues or enquiries we’ve ever had, everyone is ready to help and there is always someone at the end of the phone 24 hours a day. “
