THE FOUR-MONTH Foster Carer Recruitment REVIEW
THE FOUR-MONTH Foster Carer Recruitment REVIEW
We are now four months into the financial year.
So, how is your foster carer recruitment plan progressing?
Remember Foster Carer Recruitment is the ONLY department in your organisation that can for an IFA make significant money or for an Local Authority SAVE significant money on YOUR budget.
So.
Are enquiries where you expected them to be?
Are enough people moving from enquiry into assessment?
Is your marketing reaching new audiences—or are the same messages still producing diminishing returns?
And, most importantly, are you on track to deliver the number of approved foster carers your service needs?
Remember growth canonly happen IF you are recruiting more than you are losing.
An end-of-month review should not simply confirm what activity has taken place.
It should tell you whether that activity is producing results.
If performance is not where it should be, spending more on the same approach may not be the answer.
You may need different messaging, different audiences, a better candidate journey or a more targeted recruitment strategy.
Four months have passed.
There is still time to change direction—but only if you recognise what needs to change.
