Fostering Online Information Evening

We are recruiting foster carers and this virtual session allows you meet some of our friendly team and hear from one of our foster carers. It's a great way to find out more about fostering before taking the next step. It includes a short presentation and a chance to ask any questions. You don’t need to make any commitment to progressing further, we just want you to think about whether you could start your own fostering story with us.

In this presentation we will go through:

- What qualities and experience we look for in foster carers

- What do foster carers do?

- Why you should foster with Gateshead

- The different types of fostering

- The pay and financial support you will receive

- The support and training we provide and the career progression on offer

- The foster carer assessment journey

- Hear from one of our foster carers about their fostering story

- General fostering Q+A with staff and a foster carer

- The first steps of your fostering journey if you want to proceed
