About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced recruitment consultant to take over an established, thriving social housing desk. This is a warm desk billing £250k a year, so you’ll hit the ground running, working live vacancies and placing candidates from day one.

We’re on all the major public sector frameworks, which means a steady flow of roles from housing associations, local authorities and other social housing providers. You’ll spend your time doing what you do best: building relationships, filling vacancies and delivering a great service to clients and candidates.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Taking over and growing an existing desk, managing live vacancies from day one
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients across the social housing sector
• Sourcing, screening and placing high-quality temporary and permanent candidates
• Working to framework requirements and compliance standards
• Developing new business and expanding the desk’s client base
• Managing the full recruitment cycle, from taking the brief through to placement

About You

• Proven recruitment experience, ideally within social housing, housing, or public sector recruitment
• A track record of hitting and exceeding targets
• Strong relationship-building and communication skills
• Confident working with frameworks and public sector clients
• Self-motivated, organised and commercially minded

What We Offer

 

• Basic salary up to £45,000, depending on experience
• Generous commission scheme paying up to 25%
• An established £250k desk to take over, with no need to build from scratch
• Hybrid working: 3 days in our Castle Donington office, the rest from home
• 25 days’ holiday, rising to 30 days with length of service
• Supportive team and a company with a strong presence on public sector frameworks
