Want to be a Carer?

Welcome to the carer recruitment area!

If you want to do something worthwhile you could make a real difference to the lives of Reading children by becoming a carer. Becoming a carer can in some cases mean a long-term, full-time commitment but in other cases could just mean a few hours a month.  We need carers to cater for lots of different circumstances - even if you only have a little time to spare you could make a big difference. The schemes that we currently run offer different types of care to children who may have to leave home for a variety of reasons. You can find out more about these schemes by clicking on the Type of Fostering and Care Schemes link at the top right of this page and by clicking on the relevant categories listed on the left hand side.

We also run a series of Carer Recruitment Events where you can find out more about the different schemes and meet some of the people involved. For a calendar of events, please see the page below.
