Great company!

I have recently joined the RFS London team as a supervising social worker. I believe they are doing an amazing job with the foster carers and the children and young people that are placed with them. RFS is a great company and very supportive of their employees. It is brilliant to see all the amazing and brilliant work they have done with the foster carers and children placed with them. It is very rewarding helping and supporting a foster carer that is committed to make a difference in children’s lives and guide them to progress and meet all needs related to the children, could also see them progress and develop to adolescence and adulthood.

New starter experience!!

I have recently gone through the recruitment process with RFS and it was a very positive experience. The interview was well structured, Hannah and Ashlea made me feel at ease throughout the interview. The team have made me feel so welcome and I already feel very supported in my new role by all members of staff. I am looking forward to a long career with RFS.

Regional Fostering Services are highly professional and pleasure to work with

Regional Fostering Services seems to have an ethos of caring as much about their foster carers as they do the children we look after.

Having support is key in providing young people a stable, loving home whilst they are in care, enabling the child to overcome trauma in a positive environment.

Every child is an individual and Regional Fostering understand this; treating carers as professionals who know the child, working with them and listening to their views on what that child needs to blossom and grow.

The training is easy to access, interesting and friendly, not only learning but getting to know the other foster carers, building a network.

RFS have helped me through difficult situations, which they resolved easily with no stress. All the staff have been amazing from the directors to the office admin, and most importantly my supervising social worker!

A journey you’ll never regret

One of the best decisions I have ever made!!!
Fostering has taught us so much more than we could ever imagine. It taught us to be determined to change this child’s life around for the better and mostly show them a better way of life so when they leave they can continue and break the cycle they have been taken out of.

That feeling of love and satisfaction when you know that child had moved on independently or finished school with good results, gone off to uni, no one can take that away.

There have been tears of sadness when kids have been adopted and tears of happiness when you know it’s all worked out for the best.

It’s a different journey with each child some whom you will love more than others but a journey you will never regret.

Not all hero's wear capes

Regional Fostering Services is a fantastic company to work for. They treat their carers with the upmost respect, working in partnership with carers and other professionals to help develop strong, stable and supported placements. Enabling their carers to provide the high quality care to the children and young people placed with them.

Regional Fostering Services go above and beyond to support their carers and ensure the voice of the child and carers are heard and considered at all times. They provide consistent, fair and honest support and guidance.

As an employee, Regional Fostering Services have helped me continue my professional development so that I can best support foster carers on their journey. They are approachable, fair and supportive. A pleasure to work with the team and the fantastic cares they have recruited.
