Regional Recruiter

Regional Recruiter — Field-Based, Northern England

Up to £30,000 per annum + travel allowances | 6-month contract (potential to extend) | Full-time

Not your average recruitment job.

We're not looking for someone to sit behind an ATS and screen CVs. We're looking for someone who can land in a town where Routes Healthcare has never operated, work out who's hiring, what they're paying, and where the candidates are — and then build a recruitment pipeline from nothing.

Routes Healthcare is a CQC-registered homecare and complex care provider growing across Northern England. Every time we win a contract in a new area, someone has to get boots on the ground and make recruitment happen before the service goes live. That's this role.

What you'll actually be doing

\n
• Visiting new service areas to understand the local market first-hand — who the competitors are, what they pay, and where care workers actually look for jobs
\n
• Building geography-specific recruitment strategies for hard-to-fill areas, from advertising channels down to community noticeboards
\n
• Getting out and building relationships — Jobcentre Plus, colleges, training providers, community groups
\n
• Running attraction campaigns and building candidate pipelines, then handing applicants to our central team for screening and compliance
\n
• Reporting your market intelligence and pipeline progress straight to the Head of Recruitment
\n

What we need from you

\n
• 2+ years' recruitment experience in a similar role — care sector or another hard-to-fill, high-volume field
\n
• A genuine self-starter who can mobilise a recruitment campaign from scratch, without waiting to be told what to do
\n
• Full UK driving licence and access to your own car — this is a field-based role and you'll be travelling regularly
\n
• To live within commutable distance of Rochdale — our head office is here and you'll be working from it at times
\n
• Confidence talking to anyone, from a Jobcentre work coach to a college principal
\n

The honest bit

This is a brand-new role on an initial 6-month contract. If it works — and we think it will — there's real potential for it to become something longer-term. You'll be shaping the role as you go, reporting directly to the Head of Recruitment, with the freedom to run your patch your way.
