Recruitment Manager

Bluebird Care; Crowmarsh Gifford; On-site; GBP 30,000 - 50,000; Full time

Job description

We believe in caring for our own people first before we can care for others. That's why we're looking for a caring, bubbly, passionate person to help grow the Bluebird Care Oxfordshire business.

Your Opportunity

As a Recruitment Manager, you will be a key part in finding and retaining the right people to support our customers in their own home. We're expanding across Oxfordshire, so you must be up for working at a fast pace without losing sight of our values or our culture, which we hold dear.

Working both in the field and at our offices in Wallingford, Oxford, and Witney, you will be working within the management team to support recruitment and marketing to recruit and retain staff across the region.

You will be working with each office team to meet their recruitment needs and closely with the managing director and registered manager to source the most passionate care team in the area. You will use both your local knowledge of the market and be confident in using job boards, recruitment, and community events to search, resource, and attract candidates into our care teams.

You will also work closely with the Managing Director to create and deliver a business marketing and recruitment plan. This will involve campaign management and creating awareness of the company in order to grow opportunities from new and existing customers.

You will be expected to be self-motivated, driven, energetic, and prepared to get stuck in not only to the recruitment side of our business but 'all things people'.

It makes sense that you have worked in the care sector - know how great operations run and how great leaders behave. Being able to know what makes a great Care Assistant will be essential.
