Southampton City Council Fostering & Adoption Services

We need more foster carers from Southampton and the surrounding areas. All fostering placements are fully funded; carers should never end up out of pocket. As well as a weekly allowance, there is also a skills based payment scheme. This is available to carers who have gained experience and undertaken relevant qualifications, which are funded by the council. It's up to you how far you want to go - you can develop a genuine career in care by fostering.We will provide you with outstanding training opportunities – giving you a diverse skill set to ensure successful placements. If you think you could give a child a brighter future get in touch via our website or give us a call on 0800 5 19 18 18.
