North Tyneside Council’s fostering service is inviting anyone thinking about fostering to come along to an informal open evening.
The drop-in event will be held at North Shields Customer First Centre on Tuesday 25 September, between 6pm and 8pm.
Members of North Tyneside Council’s fostering service and experienced foster carers will be on hand to answer any queries that attendees may have.
One foster carer, Sandra, said: “I have been a foster carer for 15 years now and love it. What I enjoy the most is seeing the positive outcomes for the kids and knowing that you have been a part of that and can make a real difference in their lives.”
Foster carers earn competitive allowances and the role offers flexible working, including short-term placements, such as providing weekend care, as well as longer term foster care.
For more information, contact the council’s fostering service on (0191) 643 2540, email fostering@northtyneside.gov.uk, or visit the fostering section of the council’s website: www.northtyneside.gov.uk/fostering.
