Become a Short Break + Carer

North Lincolnshire Council’s Fostering team are looking for kind and compassionate individuals to step forward to do something outstanding and make a difference in the lives of children and young people with additional needs by becoming a Short Break + carer, throughout March.

Take on this flexible, part-time role which is open to people from all walks of life, all ages, and backgrounds – some of the current carers also work and some are full time parents and make a difference in the lives of children and young people with additional needs by becoming a Short Breaks + carer.
