JMT Care Services Ltd

Keeping the promise to children and young people in Scotland

JMT Care Services has been raising the standard of foster care in Scotland for over 25 years. With offices across Scotland, JMT’s highly qualified and experienced social workers support our professional foster carers to nurture children and young people in their therapeutic placements for as long as is needed.

JMT Fostering

JMT Fostering offers short break, interim, long term and permanent placements to children and young people of all ages. Our carers come from a variety of backgrounds and offer a range of expertise. JMT Fostering supports children and young people dealing with a range of issues including experiences of abuse (physical, emotional, sexual), neglect, developmental trauma, learning difficulties and physical disabilities. We offer round the clock support from a small team of staff who provide an out of hours service. Our qualified social workers have a limited case load to allow them time to get to know their carers and young people really well. We offer initial and on-going training, both in house and using nationally accredited training providers, to support our carers to provide the best care experience for our young people.

JMT Young Adult Placements

It is our belief that every young adult who was fostered as a child has the right to continue to benefit from a positive experience of family life, enabling each to fulfil their potential in a family where they feel secure and have a sense of belonging. We acknowledge that most young adults will live within their own family or independently but there are occasions when this cannot happen and alternative arrangements have to be made. Working in partnership with local authorities, JMT Fostering is committed to providing a quality family experience, enabling young adults who were looked after and accommodated with our foster carers to remain with those families beyond the age of 18 years where this is considered necessary and appropriate. This service is only available to young people that have been in a JMT Foster Placement. If carers have the appropriate space to accommodate a young adult and a looked after child/young person they may be registered as both a JMT young adult carer and JMT foster carer.
