Labour & Compliance Coordinator

Temporary Recruitment | Office-Based

We are looking for a motivated and people-driven individual to join our recruitment business, specialising in asbestos labour. This role focuses heavily on managing operatives and ensuring the labour side of the business runs smoothly on a day-to-day basis.

You will spend much of your time speaking with operatives by phone, text, and messaging platforms, building relationships, checking attendance, and resolving issues quickly when they arise. Confidence, resilience, and the ability to communicate clearly with a wide range of personalities are essential, as many of the operatives you will deal with require a firm but fair approach.

Alongside operative management, you will oversee compliance, ensuring all documentation is accurate, up to date, and approved before operatives are placed on site. Attention to detail is critical, as compliance underpins everything we do.

This role is designed for someone who wants to grow. Over time, you will progress and develop to become the go-to person for labour within our business. You will become the individual others rely on when operatives are needed, sites need covering, or problems arise at short notice. You will learn to know everything about the operatives and how to get the best from them.

As your experience and confidence grows, so will your responsibility and influence at J&L Recruitment, with clear scope to lead this part of the business.

The role is office-based with standard working hours of 8:00am to 5:00pm. Flexibility is expected for ad-hoc out of hours tasks, particularly where operative attendance or client support is time-sensitive. Operatives must be checked into site, and on occasion roles may need to be filled outside of standard hours. This is not a rigid, clock-watching position and will suit someone who takes ownership, pride in their work, and responsibility for getting the job done.

Previous experience in recruitment is not essential. What matters most is attitude, reliability, and the ability to think quickly under pressure. You should enjoy speaking to people, be organised, and have a genuine desire to progress into a leadership position over time.

For the right person, this role offers clear progression, increased responsibility, and the opportunity to lead the labour and compliance function of the business. We respond to hard-working and determined individuals who can add value to our team.

If you are ambitious, resilient, and looking for a role where you can build a career rather than simply fill a seat, we would welcome your application
