Join Bexley fostering
We love to hear from experienced Foster Carers who want to join Bexley fostering. We value each and every one of our Foster Carers, their dedication helps children and young people in our care grow up in a much needed stable and loving environment. That is why Bexley is dedicated to providing a high level of care and support to our Foster Carers.
We are actively working towards placing all Bexley foster children with London Borough of Bexley’s Foster Carers. This is to ensure that all our resources go directly to supporting local children and young people within our community.
At Bexley, if a child or young person does come into our care, we will always look at the best possible placement with the Foster Carers we have. That is why our Foster Carers have consistent fostering placements. We are always searching for more incredible Foster Carers so that children and young people in our care have the best possible placements to help them develop in a loving and safe environment that is right for them.
