The Role

This is not a box-ticking HR role.

You'll be responsible for finding, attracting, and securing the people who shape everything our client does - from frontline Support Workers through to House Leaders and senior roles.

In a service like theirs, recruitment is quality. You'll sit at the centre of that.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Support recruitment across our client, helping them find the right people for their services.
• Help build and maintain candidate pipelines so they are not just hiring reactively.
• Assist with writing and posting job adverts that attract the right candidates.
• Screen applications, shortlist candidates, and undertake interviews.
• Support safer recruitment processes (references, compliance checks, onboarding admin).
• Proactively chase references and required documentation to keep the recruitment process moving.
• Help create a smooth and positive candidate journey from application to start date.
• Work closely with managers to understand the kind of people they are looking for.
• Contribute ideas to improve how they attract talent - whether through job boards, social media, or partnerships.

Candidate Attributes and Desirable Skills

You're someone who:

• Has a strong instinct for people - who fits, who doesn't, and why.
• Can move at pace without dropping standards.
• Writes clearly and knows how to sell a role without overselling it.
• Understands (or is willing to learn) safer recruitment and compliance.
• Thinks ahead - you're already building pipelines before roles go live.

Our Client's Values - PRAISE

Our client's values aren't a poster on the wall - they show up in who they hire.

You'll be responsible for spotting and selecting people who genuinely live these:

• Passion - You care about the work and the people behind it, not just filling roles.
• Respect - You treat every candidate with fairness, honesty, and professionalism.
• Advocacy - You champion quality, challenge poor fits, and stand up for what's right.
• Innovation - You're always looking for better ways to attract and engage talent.
• Sense of Fun - You bring energy and personality into what can otherwise feel transactional.
• Empowerment - You build teams that enable young people to grow, not depend.

What You'll Get:

• A role with real influence over how the organisation grows.
• Direct access to decision-makers - no layers slowing things down.
• Flexibility in how you work.
• Ongoing development as the organisation scales.
• The chance to shape recruitment into something.

Why Our Client

They support young people with complex backgrounds to move towards independence and stability.

That only works when the right people are in the room.

This role decides who walks through the door.

In return you will receive:

• 30 days holiday (inclusive of bank holidays) with additional days rewarded with long service.
• Regular supervision, support, and ongoing training opportunities.
• Support available for relevant health and social care qualifications.
