Job description

About the Role

As an Employer Relations Manager, you'll be the bridge between local and national employers and the people we support into work. You will identify hiring needs, build relationships, promote our services, and create real job opportunities for participants facing barriers to employment.

This is a sales and relationship-led role. You'll spend your time:

• Speaking with employers
• Prospecting new business
• Closing opportunities
• Understanding workforce needs
• Presenting candidates
• Generating job vacancies

It's fast paced, target driven, and perfect for someone who enjoys winning new business and supporting people into sustainable work.

You’ll work closely with Employment Advisors, helping convert opportunities into meaningful job starts. You'll be part of a mission driven organisation that lives its values every day: Be Ambitious, Be Inspiring, Be Proud, Be Considerate, Own It.

What You’ll Do

Drive Employer Engagement & B2B Sales

• Prospect new employers through outbound calls, emails, meetings, networking, and local research
• Sell the benefits of working with Get Set UK and our participant talent pool
• Build long term relationships with hiring managers and business leaders
• Create new job leads and convert them into vacancies

Understand Employer Needs

• Gather detailed insights into roles, culture, and workforce challenges
• Advise employers on recruitment solutions
• Present candidates confidently and professionally

Collaborate With Internal Teams

• Work closely with Employment Advisors to match participants to roles
• Provide insight on labour market trends and employer expectations
• Support colleagues with understanding job requirements

Manage & Report on Activity

• Maintain accurate CRM records
• Track targets, pipeline, outreach activity, and conversions
• Deliver against monthly vacancy and employer engagement targets

Who This Role Suits

You do not need experience in employment services. This role is ideal for people with strong sales or relationship building backgrounds, such as:

• Recruitment consultants or account managers
• B2B field sales reps
• Business development executives
• Retail or hospitality managers used to outreach and commercial activity
• Call centre outbound sales
• Community engagement workers with employer relationships

You’ll thrive if you:

• Love speaking to new people
• Are confident in outbound sales activity
• Can build rapport quickly with decision makers
• Work well to targets and pipelines
• Stay organised and own your workload
• Are driven, ambitious, and motivated by results
• Live our values in the way you communicate and deliver

A Realistic Message: This Role Is Not For Everyone

We expect everyone in this role to model employability and professionalism because you will be representing us to employers and helping participants prepare for work. That means:

• Your application should show pride and attention to detail
• Your CV should demonstrate your achievements
• You should complete any testing with commitment
• You must show up prepared, reliable, and consistent
• You should demonstrate ownership, ambition, and resilience

If you wouldn’t show this level of commitment for yourself, you won’t be able to inspire employers or support participants to do it for themselves. If this resonates with you, this role will be challenging, rewarding, and full of purpose. If not, it’s better to know early.

Why Work With Get Set UK?

You’ll join a mission driven organisation with strong values and a genuine commitment to people.

You’ll get:

• Wellbeing tools including GP, counselling, and Headspace
• Discounts, pension scheme, salary sacrifice options
• Enhanced benefits with service
• A structured career development pathway
• Continuous training and support
• A supportive culture that celebrates ambition, results, and ownership
