Across the South East of England, our foster carers work closely with a team of multidisciplinary support workers who provide all the assistance they need. Together, support workers, foster carers, and looked after young people all make up the FCA family that spans the Kent region, supporting carers who are fostering in Faversham to fostering in Dover.

Promoting fostering in Kent and across the South East
Anne-Marie Ali, Registered Manager for FCA Kent, expands upon the current need for people who are interested in fostering in Kent:
“We are looking for individuals who genuinely want to make a positive difference to the lives of children and young people who, through no fault of their own, find themselves living in the UK foster care system.
“We urge anyone in the South East who is looking for a new job to think carefully about fostering in Kent. Yes, it can be challenging but with the right foster carer support and fostering training it can be extremely rewarding. Very often our foster carers find they have a number of transferable skills from previous jobs. Once they make that initial enquiry to take up fostering, they are often surprised how suited they are to the role.”
Every day, FCA Therapists, Social Workers, Education Officers and Children and Young People Support Services teams are working hard in Kent to guide and support our foster carers. Find out more about the daily work of our fostering support team in Kent by visiting our Meet the Team tab.
