Do you have a spare room in your home?

If so, we are now recruiting foster carers to be part of a new and exciting national programme for children aged 7 - 11!

MTFC has been designed to support children who have significant difficulties in social and family relationships. We offer short term placements that range from 9 - 12 months with a view to decreasing problem behaviours and increasing the chance of successfully returning the child to a permanent family placement.

Could you be an MTFC carer?

We are looking for people with the following attributes:

Patience, resilience, commitment and a sense of humour

Enthusiasm for young people.

A willingness to be part of a professional team, taking detailed advice on behaviour management and contributing to daily review and evaluation of the children's progress.

A desire to take on a new professional challenge.

A carer who doesn't have any other children in the 7- 11 age range.

A carer who lives in Hackney or a neighbouring borough.

A secure home (owned, rented) with a separate room for a foster child.

Experience with school aged children.

What do you get in return?

A substantial financial remuneration package.

Specialist training in the MTFC Model.

A detailed behavioural programme for the child which takes some of the stress associated with discipline off the foster parent.

Daily consultation with team members.

Weekly carer support meeting.

24/7 on call support from the child's team.

Respite care provided by other programme carers.
