SWIIS Foster Care Scotland has developed a package of support and financial security designed to enable carers to consider fostering as a worthwhile full time career.
Our allowances are a reflection of the time, energy and commitment it takes to make care count. They are also a reflection upon the needs of individual children.
Our allowances can vary from region to region but overall carers can expect to receive allowances of between £400 and £580 per week. Our mainstream carers also receive two weeks' paid holiday respite per year as well as a significant retainer fee between placements (except for the permanence scheme).
For more detailed information on allowances and other benefits in your region please contact your local office by telephone or by using the links in this site.
If you think that you may be able to join our team in meeting the needs of these particular groups, please do not hesitate to talk these and many other options through with your local office or complete our register your interest form.
