Can fostering be a full-time job?

For many people, fostering is their full-time role. Caring for a child, especially one who has experienced trauma or has additional needs, can be a demanding and deeply involved commitment. That is why we ask that at least one foster carer in the household is available full-time, so they can give the time, attention and stability the child needs. Every situation is different, and we will work with you to find the right balance for your family and the children in your care.
