Recruitment lead

Overview

Are you the person who can spot a brilliant carer before they even know it themselves?

Looking for a role where your energy and ideas actually shape the business?

Join a team that truly cares.

At Visiting Angels, we believe great care starts with great people — and that's where you come in. We're looking for an energetic, outgoing and people-focused Recruitment Lead to head up the search for compassionate carers and guide them seamlessly from application to their very first shift — and beyond.

This is a brilliant opportunity for a self-starter who loves connecting with people, can manage their own schedule and workload, and wants to make a real difference in the health and social care sector.

• Owning the full recruitment cycle — from job posting and sourcing to interviewing and onboarding
• Writing engaging job adverts, social media posts and candidate communications
• Helping build our social media presence to attract high-quality candidates
• Bringing fresh, innovative ideas to how we attract — and keep — great carers
• Helping new carers settle in so they stay and thrive
• Representing Visiting Angels at recruitment fairs and community events (some weekend flexibility required)
• Creating a warm, professional candidate experience that reflects our Carer-Centric values
• Ensuring all compliance, DBS checks and onboarding processes (including Birdie software) are completed accurately and on time
• Working closely with our friendly office team for smooth handovers
• Sharing on-call responsibilities with the wider team which will require delivering care to clients on occasion
• Tracking recruitment metrics and reporting on progress to senior leadership.

• Experience in care, recruitment or another people-focused role
• Energy, self-motivation and the ability to manage your own time and priorities
• A genuinely caring, engaging nature that people warm to
• Excellent written communication — you'll write adverts, posts and emails every day
• Confidence speaking to groups and promoting Visiting Angels at job fairs, community events and presentations
• Confidence using social media for recruitment and employer branding
• A friendly, approachable and professional manner
• Full UK driving licence with access to your own vehicle (business class 1 insurance required)
• Flexibility to support occasional evening/weekend recruitment events and shared on-call
• Marketing experience is desirable but not essential

You'll be part of a supportive, mission-driven team helping to grow a care service that puts people first — both our clients and our carers. As we grow, this role grows with you: you'll shape how we find and keep the carers our clients depend on, with real ownership and a performance bonus that rewards your success.
