Healthcare recruitment is a particularly difficult industry, but we’re in it together and we’re making a difference every day!

Role:

The role will largely revolve around the supply care staff to a range of local residential and nursing establishments and actively participating in new business development.

This particular branch is relatively new, and we are excited to be building a Team that can support, maintain and grow our client-base.

As a Healthcare Recruitment Consultant, you will thrive off growing a warm temporary staffing desk and be confident in performing a full 360 role. You will be fully supported by approachable and hands‑on management, who value and recognise your hard work – and you won’t go unrewarded.

Your duties will mainly include:

• Taking an active role in the candidate attraction process including sourcing potential healthcare professionals, reviewing applications, conducting interviews and onboarding

• Co‑ordinating shifts on a busy temp desk
• Managing the out of hours on‑call phone shared on a rota basis including alternate weekends
• Nominating Carer’s of the Month based on their hard work and dedication
• Ad hoc duties when required

Requirements:

Ideally, you will currently be working as a Recruitment Consultant within Healthcare or on a busy temps desk. However, a positive, hardworking and adaptable personality is key so full training will be given to the right person.

If you’re someone that is has an ambitious and highly driven personality, but you also want to feel like you’re making a difference and helping others, that’s just what we’re looking for!

You will also ideally have:

• Demonstrable experience of resilience and remaining focused when things don’t go as planned – healthcare recruitment is a particularly difficult industry, but we’re in it together and we’re making a difference every day!
• Confident approach, and sometimes assertive when needed, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to multitask in a fast‑paced environment and work reactively
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to think outside the box
• A full UK Driving License with access to your own vehicle during working hours
• Flexibility to manage the on‑call phone during evenings and weekends on a rota basis
