Join our ‘Outstanding’ Leeds fostering team
We’re an Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ independent fostering agency based in Leeds who are working hard to provide children in foster care with stable, nurturing foster families, so they grow into healthy, happy and confident young adults.
As part of the Orange Grove family, we’ll get to know you and your family, as well as the children and young people in your care very well, so we can provide the local support and training you need, whenever you need it. We achieve this by allocating no more than twelve families to each social worker – which means they’ve got more time to support you.
You’ll also have access to a family support worker, who can provide your family with any additional support you may need. Whether that’s taking a child in your care to the cinema while you spend some valuable time with your own children, or helping a child in your care with additional revision.
We’re looking for passionate and committed individuals to join our team of foster carers in Leeds, so we can build brighter futures for even more children across West Yorkshire – including Leeds, Kirklees, Huddersfield, Wakefield and Barnsley.

Why choose Orange Grove?

Renowned for quality
We’ve built a solid reputation for delivering the very best quality care, while also providing rewarding and enjoyable experiences for our foster families and our children.
Testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, we’ve been recognised as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted for two consecutive inspections and we’re not stopping there – we’re always looking at new ways to improve to the experiences of children in care.
Generous allowances and benefits
You’ll receive a generous fostering allowance while a child is in your care, designed to recognise your professionalism and commitment. We also offer other benefits, such as allowances for birthdays and religious festivals, as well as two weeks paid respite.
Plus you'll have access to our rewards platform where you can find hundreds of discounts to some of your favourite shops, restaurants and family experiences.

Meet the manager
Craig Clark, Registered Manager, joined Orange Grove in 2018 and is responsible for our Yorkshire registration, which includes our Leeds and Doncaster offices too. Craig has over 25 years’ experience in fostering, child protection, and children’s rights and advocacy – both within independent foster care agencies and local authority.
He has a warm and friendly personality, with a great ‘can-do’ approach to his work that inspires and encourages the whole team to work together to achieve the very best outcomes for children in care.
Craig hosts a monthly Meet and Greet evening at our Leeds office, where he invites along people who are interested in fostering or those currently in the application process, to come along and have a chat.
