We’re recruiting foster parents in Essex, Suffolk, Hertfordshire and the Midlands

Fostering is never straightforward - but that shouldn’t mean facing a battle for help when you need it most.

Finding the right agency can feel overwhelming when you start your fostering journey. It can be hard to predict just how tough things might get, so knowing what good support looks like can feel like a guessing game.

In truth, while fostering’s exceptionally rewarding, it’s also often messy, overwhelming and emotionally exhausting. Without the right guidance and help, it’s easy for new foster parents to feel lost or unprepared when a child’s needs feel more complex than you’d first imagined. So, choosing the right agency is the crucial first step, but how do you know who’ll truly be there when you really need them?

Testimonials

Outstanding support - because fostering’s not just about opening your heart and home.

It’s about helping children to recover from trauma.

While many agencies offer various support resources, it’s not uncommon for foster families to find themselves waiting weeks, even months, for critical therapeutic support. At Mosaic Foster Care we believe foster parents, their families and the children they care for deserve the highest level of support to give every child the best chance of success. And that means the right interventions on tap when needed - not waiting weeks or months. Delays just stall a child’s progress and damage relationship building between a child and their foster parent.

We never rush the matching process

Our diligent matching process ensures children are placed with families where they will not only fit but flourish. We don’t rush this process - all our foster children have in-person introductions before being placed to ensure the match to your family is right for them and you.
