Job description

Location: Worcester
Salary: £28-34k

Hours: 8:00am-4:30pm or 8:30am-5:00pm

We are looking for a motivated Account Manager to join our driving recruitment team. The successful candidate will be responsible for managing and developing strong relationships with our clients, while ensuring we consistently deliver high-quality HGV, LGV, Class 1, Class 2, 7.5T and van drivers to meet their staffing requirements.

This is a fast-paced role that requires excellent communication, organisation and relationship-building skills, with the ability to manage multiple client accounts and respond quickly to changing requirements.

Unlike Recruitment Consultant positions, this role is service-led rather than sales-driven.

Our Account Managers are dedicated to supporting and servicing an established network of existing customers. The focus is on delivering exceptional recruitment experience, building long-term partnerships, and ensuring customer requirements are fulfilled quickly, accurately and professionally.

You will not be expected to carry out cold business development or high-pressure sales activity. Success in this role comes from your ability to manage relationships, think operationally, respond at pace, and consistently deliver outstanding service to both clients and drivers.

Key Responsibilities

• Build strong day-to-day relationships with clients, understanding operational needs and reacting quickly to urgent or last-minute driver requests.
• Manage high volumes of temporary and ad-hoc driver bookings, often within tight timeframes, ensuring service levels are maintained at all times.
• Deliver a consistently high standard of customer service to both clients and drivers, recognising that long-term partnerships are built on reliability, communication and trust.
• Attend daily morning meetings to provide updates on client requirements and service delivery priorities.
• Take ownership of driver availability and engagement, ensuring drivers are well briefed, supported and feel valued as part of the Workforce team.
• Attend service review meetings with customers to discuss performance, identify improvements and strengthen long-term relationships.
• Write and place professional job adverts and utilise marketing tools to attract suitable driver candidates.
• Source, qualify and manage driver relationships within your specialist area, including referencing and compliance checks.
• Handle client and candidate queries with confidence and professionalism, taking ownership and resolving issues quickly.
• Provide out-of-hours mobile support and participate in on-call rota duties to ensure customer requirements are met around the clock when needed.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to maximise service delivery and commercial opportunities.
• Visit customer sites across the UK to maintain service standards and strengthen partnerships.
• Use in-house systems effectively to generate candidates and manage bookings.
• Complete payroll processes and investigate payroll queries.
• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle, from vacancy intake through to successful placement and ongoing aftercare.
• Maintain strong relationships with active contractors and placements, ensuring consistent communication and service quality.

You’ll enjoy this role if you:

• Take pride in building long-term relationships rather than chasing quick wins.
• Stay calm and solutions-focused when priorities change at short notice.
• Understand the importance of speed and accuracy when managing last-minute driver requirements.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with both customers and drivers.
• Enjoy being part of a supportive, high-performing team that works together to deliver exceptiona
