Social Worker - Adults Multi-Disciplinary Team

Salary £50,000 + up to £13,453.96 in Weekly Allowances

Become a Lleol (local) Foster Carer with Flintshire County Council. This is fostering, but not as you know it. Lleol means local in Welsh and with fostering – maintaining locality is hugely important. There are children and young people in and around the Flintshire area who need time, patience, expertise — and above all — someone who will believe in them and fight their corner.

This is a specialist fostering role — supporting young people who are leaving high-support settings like residential care and helping them to transition to family life as smoothly as possible. We take a therapeutic approach to professional parenting, giving you every opportunity to develop your skills through full training, exceptional support, and a team walking alongside you every step of the way.

• £50,000 Annual Fee recognising your dedicated time, skill & commitment
• Up to £258.79 Weekly Fostering Allowance (over £13,453 annually)
• Additional Allowances for Birthdays, Holidays & Christmas
• Access to a linked Lleol Support Foster Carer – for practical help and respite
• 50% discount on your Council Tax payments
• Therapeutic Training & Qualifications
• Membership to The Fostering Network
• Access to the Mockingbird Support Model
• Blue Light Card membership – access to more than 15,000 discounts nationwide
• Reward & Recognition via the Care Friends App

We’re looking for individuals or couples who:

• Have professional or personal experience in supporting children & young people
• Can provide a nurturing, therapeutic home environment
• Have at least one spare bedroom that can be dedicated to fostering
• Hold a full driving licence
• Are able to offer their full-time commitment to this role
• Can work as part of a professional team, attend meetings, and engage in training
• Are resilient, reflective, and ready to parent in a new and guided way
• Are open to registering as self-employed
• Ideally, you won’t have other children under 16 living in your home (though exceptions may apply dependent on individual fostering experience)

If you’ve worked as a:

• Children’s Mental Health Nurse
• Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP)
• Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist

…then your clinical insight, compassion, and ability to build therapeutic relationships could make you an outstanding foster carer.
