At Settle Paradigm, we’re proud to be the largest housing group in the region, managing over 30,000 homes across Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, and Hertfordshire.

Everything we do is about delivering excellent services, high quality homes, neighbourhoods we can be proud of and maximising number of new affordable homes we build. Through our merger we’ve brought together shared values, skills and ambition, so we can build more affordable homes and make an even bigger difference in the communities we serve

If you're ready to grow your career in a supportive, inclusive environment while helping to shape stronger communities, we’d love to welcome you on our journey. Together, we’re building a better future.

This is a great opportunity to join a busy, friendly and supportive recruitment function. You will work closely with our Recruitment Partner (Bertie) to deliver recruitment activity across the organisation. You will manage vacancies from start to finish, create adverts, shortlist with hiring managers, schedule interviews, manage candidate communication and support onboarding. You will also play a key part in our direct sourcing strategy, using Linked In Recruiter, job boards and proactive headhunting to find great people.

A big part of the role is keeping processes moving, keeping candidates engaged and making sure everyone has a positive experience.

Whether you come from an in‑house background or a recruitment agency background, we are open to hearing from you. Our very own Recruitment Partner originally joined on a fixed‑term contract from an agency and is now permanent, so we welcome people who want to grow and develop in an in‑house environment.
