A bit about the role
North West Fostering service offers fostering placements using a therapeutic framework which draws upon theory and evidence around attachment and trauma-informed principles to scaffold the support that we offer to children and young people. Our aim is to provide safe, stable, supportive homes for children and young people who have a history of attachment disruption, abuse, neglect and trauma.  

We also offer an innovative WRAP service that supports children and young people who are either in Local Authority/IFA fostering and whose placements are at risk of breakdown. The Wrap service is designed to help prevent placement breakdown and maximize stability for a young person.

Support will focus on children in care with the most complex needs and with significant adverse childhood experiences. The service will use trauma informed practice and attachment theory and provide a range of evidence-based therapies including Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, Theraplay, and PACE.
