Recruitment & Development Lead – Part-time; 30 hours (over 5 or 4 days, with 3 days in the office)
Redditch | Part-Time
Recruitment isn't just filling vacancies. It's building the future of a business.
We're looking for a Recruitment & Development Lead who thrives on momentum, enjoys influencing people and loves finding better ways of doing things.
This isn't a role for someone who wants to simply post jobs and manage an inbox.
We're looking for someone who sees recruitment as a commercial function. Someone who gets excited about talent pipelines, employer branding, succession planning, apprenticeships and improving how we attract, assess and develop great people.
You'll be our recruitment specialist and trusted advisor, partnering with hiring managers and senior leaders across the business to identify talent, challenge thinking, improve hiring outcomes and ensure we continue to attract exceptional people.
If you're energised by variety, enjoy building relationships, have a creative mindset and take real ownership for results, we'd love to hear from you.
Oh, and we’re a Great Place To Work, by the way! No, officially, we have Great Place To Work Certification, which recognises organisations with exceptional workplace culture based on employee feedback and engagement.

Coordinating and promoting apprenticeship opportunities across the business

Test new ideas and improve how we recruit
-
Build talent communities and pipelines
-
Influence senior leaders
-
Shape our employer brand
-
Use technology, data and creativity to improve outcomes
