About Us
Newham Carer Recruitment Team are recruiting individuals and families from all cultural backgrounds to provide loving and caring homes that children deserve.
Fostering is a role that fits in with family life. You can be at home full time and foster a baby or if you are in employment you may prefer to foster a child at primary school or a teenager.
The role of a foster carer is so important, not only for the day to day care they provide but for helping the child to feel safe, settled and secure during their time in care.
Newham Fostering are recruiting foster carers for children between 0 -18 years. In particular, it would be great to hear from those interested in caring for babies, teenagers and sibling groups and who live in or near Newham.
