Job Introduction

Talent & Recruitment Manager (Full time)
Location: Faversham
Salary: 45k
Lead the future of care talent. Make a real impact.

We’re looking for a driven Talent & Recruitment Manager to lead our recruitment function across homecare, residential services, extra care and our central teams. You’ll help grow a workforce that truly lives our SPARKLE values and delivers brilliant care to the communities we support.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll take charge of end-to-end recruitment across a wide range of roles, building a sustainable talent pipeline for today and the future. Expect to:

• Create innovative attraction campaigns—digital, community-based, early careers, partnerships, direct sourcing and more.
• Ensure accurate recruitment assets, careers website content and strong employer value proposition (EVP) alignment, strengthening the overall candidate experience.
• Keep recruitment compliant, with clear reporting and smart use of systems.
• Work closely with managers and the wider People, L&D and Operations teams to support planning, onboarding and reduce agency spend.
• Manage agency relationships, negotiate terms and improve transparency around usage.
• Lead and develop the Talent team, building a collaborative culture that reflects our SPARKLE values.
• Support international recruitment and help ensure colleagues joining from overseas feel welcomed, informed and supported.

What You’ll Bring

• ✔ Build creative and impactful attraction campaigns (digital & community)
• ✔ Manage employer branding and influence EVP development
• ✔ Use recruitment systems, analytics and digital tools confidently (bonus points for Canva skills)
• ✔ Work with agencies and external partners strategically
• ✔ Balance operational needs with long‑term workforce planning
• ✔ Understand safer recruitment standards and CQC compliance
• ✔ Lead, support and inspire a team

It’s a bonus if you’ve recruited in health or social care before, but it’s not a deal‑breaker.
