Base pay range

Are you ready to take charge of recruitment, onboarding, and HR in a company committed to delivering outstanding residential care for children with additional needs?

This is a unique opportunity to shape key functions, work closely with the CEO, and grow with an organisation that has ambitious plans for the future.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Autonomy & Impact – Lead recruitment and HR functions in a supportive, autonomous environment where you can make a real difference
• Growth Potential – Build your department from the ground up, with opportunities for promotion and team expansion
• Luxury Perks – Enjoy stays at Plymouth’s renowned Boringdon Hall Spa Hotel during visits to staff and homes
• Rewarding Role – Earn an additional £5,000 per annum in performance bonuses, with clear KPIs focused on recruitment and compliance

Key Responsibilities

• Drive recruitment efforts, utilising job boards, building talent pools, headhunting, and leveraging platforms like LinkedIn to meet recruitment KPIs
• Manage onboarding and compliance to ensure OFSTED regulatory standards are met
• Use your HR qualification or be supported to work towards one, with access to an external HR line for additional support
• Oversee compliance functions, including health and safety and GDPR, ensuring high standards are met

Who We're Looking For

Please do not apply unless you:

• Have internal recruitment experience within children’s homes (ideally) or care (at a minimum) – agency recruitment experience is a bonus but not a substitute
• Have experience onboarding staff into children’s homes (ideally) or care (at a minimum), with essential compliance knowledge of OFSTED and/or CQC regulations
• Live within a two-hour drive of either Manchester or Cheshire – applications outside this radius will not be considered

Qualities that will make you a great fit:

• Proactive, creative, and confident in recruitment strategies
• Strong understanding of compliance and onboarding, with excellent attention to detail and familiarity with regulations and standards
• Some HR or operational experience, or the willingness to grow into these areas with provided support

The Details

• Hours: Monday to Friday, 9–5
• Travel: Monthly meetings in Manchester and quarterly overnight stays in Plymouth
• Location: This is a remote role, but you must live within a two-hour drive of either Manchester or Cheshire
• Essential: A full UK driving licence and access to a car
