Become a Foster Carer Plus carer

Luton Council has launched a new fostering scheme, which aims to help teenagers who are facing challenging issues.

The Foster Carer Plus scheme requires carers who can advocate on their behalf and support teenagers to develop the skills they will need to take them into adult life. Your role enables teenagers to develop and reach their full potential within a home based family setting, while managing their health and mental wellbeing.

You don’t need any specific qualifications or training to become a Foster Carer Plus carer. All you need is experience in helping a young person through difficult times, and a spare bedroom.

What will carers get in return?

To support you in your new role, we will provide ongoing training and support from our friendly fostering team.
