Caregivers - Foster Care

Become a Foster Caregiver with Barnardos

Could you open your heart and home to tamariki and rangatahi?

Barnardos Foster Care is looking for people in Auckland who can welcome tamariki and rangatahi into their home and walk alongside them during a time when they need extra support.

There is a real and ongoing need for foster caregivers in our communities. Caregivers play an important role in the wider village around tamariki and rangatahi, showing up with patience, kindness and steady support while helping them stay connected, build on their strengths and continue to grow.

Caregiving can look different for different people and whānau. You may be able to offer regular respite care, short-term care, emergency care, or a more ongoing caregiving arrangement. We are keen to hear from people who can open their home and walk alongside tamariki and rangatahi with patience, care and aroha.
