From the NHS to Fostering: How Bethan’s Skills Transferred

Описание: Before becoming a foster carer, Bethan worked as a qualified radiographer in the NHS. Changing careers felt like a huge shift — but what surprised her most was how seamlessly her professional skills transferred into fostering.

In this video, Bethan shares how her experience, medical knowledge, and confidence caring for people have made a real difference, particularly while fostering a child with medical needs. She explains how fostering hasn’t just used her skills — it’s expanded them.

Bethan talks about the constant learning, professional development, and new areas of knowledge she’s discovered, especially around childhood trauma. And she shares how fostering opened unexpected career pathways too.

Today, she’s not only a foster carer, but also a Recruitment Ambassador for Compass — a role she finds incredibly rewarding.

Her story is a powerful reminder that people from all career backgrounds, including the NHS, have so much to offer in fostering — and so much to gain.
