Foster4 Data and Intelligence Officer
Foster4 is a pioneering, foster carer recruitment service. Operating as a highly successful collaborative hub based within Warrington Borough Council's offices, we proudly recruit and support foster carers on behalf of nine Cheshire and Merseyside local authorities, including Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester, Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens, Warrington, and Wirral.
The Role
Based at Warrington Borough Council's offices, you will join a pioneering collaborative project that recruits and supports foster carers on behalf of nine Cheshire and Merseyside Local Authorities, Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester, Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens, Warrington, and Wirral.
In this role, you will build, manage, and leverage our performance infrastructure. You will analyse marketing funnels, map regional demographics, and track applicant journeys to pinpoint exactly where we can find and support new foster families. Your insights will directly shape regional recruitment strategies.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
