Portsmouth City Council needs more foster carers to provide homes for Portsmouth children, from babies to teenagers. Foster carers do an amazing job in helping children and young people reach their full potential - and you could do it too!
As a local authority, we know the children in our care the best and our aim is to keep more local children with local foster carers. Fostering for your local authority offers many benefits including frequency of placements, competitive allowances and support close to home.
Learn more about fostering with Portsmouth City Council from some of our most experienced foster carers.
Fostering is an incredibly rewarding, home-based career with a number of options available to work for you. As well as the personal satisfaction from making a difference to a child’s life, you will benefit from significant support yourself on a 24/7 basis. You will also receive full training prior to your first placement and an ongoing training calendar all year round.
We have adopted the Mockingbird model of foster care to better support carers and young people in Portsmouth.
