The Roots Foundation Wales is a creative, innovative and dynamic charitable organisation based in Swansea. We support young people in care, care leavers in transition to independent living as well as carers – including kinship carers.

We also have three self-contained units on site for young people aged 16-18 who are transitioning to independent living.
A message from our Youth Panel for prospective candidates
“Roots is our home from home, it’s a place where we can share our personal experiences and
always be supported. Building good relationships with the staff and other young people is very
important to us. It’s important to have staff who are respectful, caring and trustworthy while
being able to have fun and enjoy a bit of banter! We need someone who is honest, responsible
and appreciative of the fact that Roots is like our family.”
