We're Here To Help
Support
We know that for you to be there for children and young people, we need to be there for you. Lotus Foster Care is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. During office hours, the staff, including the senior management team, will be available for any guidance or support.
After office hours, we operate an out-of-hours support line, which is managed by the social work team. This is available to all foster carers. The team can offer support, guidance and advise around matters relating to the child or young people in placement.
We’re with you all the way! You’ll receive…

Our allowances are very competitive and reflect how highly we value our carers. There are always opportunities to progress even further as your skills develop.
