Group of childrenHillcrest Fostercare was established in 1998 and is part of Hillcrest Care Limited, a leading provider of Children’s Homes and Education Services.

We have over 70 foster carers in South East England including London, Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey, West Sussex, East Sussex, Kent and Essex and we are looking for people who may be interested in becoming foster carers in these areas. There is a particular need for foster homes for young people who have come to the UK seeking asylum, young mothers and their babies together, sibling groups and teenagers. Hillcrest Fostercare offers highly competitive fees, terms and conditions and we help our carers do a professional job by providing excellent training and social work support. We work together with Local Authorities in the South East to care for over 100 children aged between 0 and 18+.

Hillcrest has a “sister” fostering agency, Orange Grove, which provides foster care to Local Authorities in other areas of the UK. See map for details.

Hillcrest Fostercare has been rated an “Outstanding” organisation by Ofsted. Click here to view the most recent Ofsted report carried out in September 2007

She has cared for 18 young people, and has been approved as the permanent carer for a young girl who has been with her for several years.

The rewards for Linda are

"Knowing that in lots of ways, no matter how great or small, you have made a difference, whether they have stayed a day, a week or years, knowing that you have said 'YES I have achieved something with this young person!' is a good feeling."
