Working in partnership
Understanding people. Building lasting relationships.
At Forest Care Selection, we aim to build true partnerships with the organisations and individuals we support. That means taking time to understand what matters to you, communicating openly and providing support beyond an introduction or appointment.
For our clients
A successful search starts with understanding your organisation, its culture and the challenges facing your service. We work beyond the job description to explore your priorities and the qualities you want your next leader to bring.
Using our extensive database and wider network, we shape each search around your requirements. We offer salary benchmarking, insight into candidate availability and clear progress updates, alongside support with interviews, feedback and onboarding.
As our partnership develops, that shared understanding helps us respond to future requirements, whether you need an interim manager or are planning a senior appointment.
Moving roles can be a significant decision, particularly after many years with an employer. We take time to understand your experience, ambitions and circumstances so we can discuss opportunities that reflect what matters to you.
We provide guidance and communication throughout the process, from the initial conversation and interview preparation to feedback, offer discussions and support through your notice period.
Our relationship continues after you start. We stay in touch with you and your new employer to help address questions and support a positive transition.
Whether you are appointing your next leader or considering your next career move, our commitment is the same: honest advice, clear communication and a partnership that extends beyond a single placement.
Client feedback
A partnership our clients value.
“Forest Care Selection is our preferred recruitment supplier for our leadership roles (registered and clinical managers up) because of the consistent high quality service and candidates they provide.
As a small organisation, we rely on Forest Care Selection to ensure our position descriptions highlight the required skills, the pricing of roles is in line with market conditions, and the quality of candidates is reliable because their selection and filtering processes are effective. Mark knows us and so ensures candidates are relevant.”

About Forest Care Selection
Sector experience. Lasting partnerships.
Mark Stevens · Founder & Director
Forest Care Selection was founded in 2019 by Mark Stevens, whose experience in Social Care and Public Sector recruitment dates back to 2003.
Mark has led large recruitment teams within both national and local recruitment organisations, maintaining a consistent specialism in these sectors throughout his career. That background brings an understanding of recruitment from both sides: identifying capable leaders and understanding the pressures facing the organisations appointing them.
At Forest Care Selection, we aim to build true partnerships with the providers we support. We take time to understand each organisation’s services, culture and priorities, alongside the experience and leadership approach needed for each appointment.
We have worked with providers to recruit key leadership appointments, supporting permanent and interim management requirements through our established national database and wider network.
Whether appointing a registered manager or strengthening a senior leadership team, our focus is on finding people who can make a lasting contribution—and building relationships that extend beyond a single placement.
