Fallen Behind in your Foster Carer Recruitment?
FALLEN BEHIND?
Your foster carer recruitment plan has fallen behind.
Enquiries are lower than expected.
Conversions are taking too long.
The number of households entering assessment is not where it needs to be.
That does not mean the year is lost.
But continuing with the same activity and hoping performance improves is unlikely to close the gap.
There is still time to:
• Refocus your marketing
• Strengthen your messaging
• Improve enquiry handling
• Recover lost candidates
• Increase conversion
• Target the communities most likely to respond
And the commercial case is straightforward.
In many cases, I only need to help a provider recruit one additional foster carer for the value created to cover my fee.
Everything achieved beyond that becomes an ongoing return for the service.
It is not too late to rectify the position.
But the sooner the intervention begins, the more of the year you have left to benefit from it.
