Job Description

Are you ready to be part of something brand new, bold, and brilliantly child‑centred?

Welcome to EPIC — Empathic Professionals Investing in Children.

We are a newly launched Community Interest Company (CIC), founded by a foster parent in the heart of Mid‑Devon, and dedicated to supporting incredible foster families across the Southwest of England.

At EPIC, we don’t just place children; we invest in their futures by investing in you. As a CIC, our profits don’t go to shareholders—they go directly back into support, training, and making life wonderful for our foster community.

What is a Foster Parent?

A foster parent is someone who opens their home and heart to a child who cannot live with their birth family. Foster parents provide:

  • A safe, stable home
  • Emotional warmth, understanding, and guidance
  • Day‑to‑day care such as routines, meals, school support, and activities
  • Advocacy for the child’s needs with schools, health services, and professionals
  • Support during contact with birth family
  • A nurturing environment that helps children heal, grow, and thrive

You don’t need special qualifications—you need empathy, resilience, and space for a child to belong.
EPIC will teach you the rest.

Why Grow With EPIC?

  • A Fresh Start: Become a founding member of a community where your voice shapes how we work.
  • Empathy First: We lead with heart. You’ll be supported by a team that truly gets it.
  • Hyper‑Local Support: Based in Mid‑Devon, we are never too far away for a coffee, a chat, or a helping hand.
  • Total Investment: From bespoke training to 24/7 therapeutic support, we invest in your success and wellbeing.

Who Are We Looking For?

Whether you are a seasoned foster parent wanting a more personal, community‑focused agency, or you’re exploring fostering for the very first time—we’d love to hear from you.

The EPIC Essentials

  • The “Heart Factor”: A deep empathy and a passion for helping children thrive.
  • Space to Grow: A spare bedroom and a stable home environment.
  • Local Heroes: You live within the Southwest of England.
  • Resilience & Joy: You can stay steady through challenges and celebrate small wins.
  • Team Players: You’re willing to work alongside our empathic professionals to provide the best care possible.
