Are you great at spotting people who will make a real difference in care?
At Hill Care, we don't just recruit to fill vacancies. We recruit for values.
Skills and experience matter, but in social care, who someone is matters too. We want people who will treat our residents with compassion and respect, who want to make a difference and whose values genuinely align with ours.
That's where you come in.
We're looking for two brilliant Recruitment Coordinators to join our People Team and help us find, engage and welcome the people who will become part of Hill Care.
North Region – North East through to Huddersfield
South Region – Chesterfield through to Merseyside
You'll be home based, but you'll also get out into our homes, build relationships with managers, understand their teams and become their go-to person for recruitment.
This isn't just about posting adverts. You'll take ownership of your vacancies and candidates from the moment a role becomes available right through to making the offer.
What you'll do
You'll manage recruitment across your region: attracting and pre-screening candidates, partnering with Home Managers, maintaining a positive candidate experience, supporting safer recruitment checks and helping managers recruit people who reflect our CARE values.
You'll help managers recruit people with the right attitudes, behaviours and values needed to provide great care.
Is this you?
You might have experience in recruitment, recruitment coordination, HR administration or onboarding. More importantly, you'll enjoy making things happen and helping candidates and managers have a great experience.
You'll need to be organised, confident and proactive. You'll be comfortable picking up the phone rather than waiting for applications to arrive, and you'll be able to build great relationships with candidates and managers alike.
To feel confident and happy in the role, you'll also need
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
The ability to manage multiple vacancies and priorities
Confidence using recruitment systems, Microsoft Office and digital platforms
An understanding of safer recruitment, including DBS, Right to Work, references and pre-employment checks
Great attention to detail
The ability to work independently while being part of a wider People Team
A full UK driving licence and the willingness and ability to travel across your region
Experience of social care and SeeMeHired or a similar recruitment platform would be an advantage.
