Strategies to recruit suitable candidates would include the following processes:
- Advertisements in The Island Connection newsletter
- Targeting specific ‘types’ of caregivers as requested by MCFD
- Demonstrating a positive public image through labelling, welcoming office environments, etc.
Information sharing:
The CF Society works in partnership with Ministry to attract and recruit suitable prospective Family Care Home caregivers and/or potential Adoptive Families. CF Society staff provides access to accurate, detailed informational in formats such as brochures, pamphlets, videos, PowerPoint presentations, and local Information Sessions.
Information outlines the recruitment process and provides a realistic, candid description of the potential rewards and challenges of foster caregiving and the role of Family Care Homes. This allows potential foster or adoptive parents to self-screen based on a clearer understanding of the expectations and process of fostering.
Research indicates that people are more satisfied and more likely to remain in a job when they have realistic previews of the job expectations. Prospective foster parents who have been fully advised of the expectations are far more likely to be successful in their role as a caregiver and remain committed to that role.
