Role Overview:
As the sole operator of the Northern branch, you will be responsible for managing and growing the branch independently — combining business development, client management, and full-cycle recruitment. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on autonomy, takes initiative, and is ready to build a successful branch from the ground up while delivering directly to critical client contracts within airport operations.
Key Responsibilities:
- Take full ownership of the Northern branch, including strategy, performance, and client delivery.

- Attend client meetings, briefings, and site visits to ensure alignment and satisfaction.
- Ensure compliance with recruitment regulations and vetting standards.
- Monitor performance metrics and reporting, identifying opportunities to optimise delivery and outcomes.
- Work closely with Optime's senior leadership to align regional activity with national objectives.
About You:
- Proven experience in a recruitment role, ideally within aviation, logistics, or high-compliance sectors.
- Strong client engagement and account management skills.
- Self-motivated and entrepreneurial, with the ability to operate independently.
- Experience in successfully filling high-volume or specialist placements.
- Strong organisational and time-management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
- Commercially astute, with a drive to grow revenue and expand services in the region.
- Knowledge of compliance and vetting processes in regulated environments.
- Full UK driving licence (preferred, due to travel to client sites).

- High level of autonomy with support from a nationally established brand.
- Excellent performance-based rewards and clear development pathways.
