Job description

Help People, Build Careers & Change Lives
Are you great at building relationships, making connections, and getting results? Do you want a job where you can make a real difference in people's lives?
We're looking for a driven, outgoing, and resilient person to help local job seekers find work by building strong partnerships with employers across your local area. This is a challenging but rewarding role, perfect for someone who thrives on talking to people, creating opportunities, and making things happen.
If you're a recruiter looking for more purpose, a salesperson who prefers people over products, or someone from retail or hospitality who knows how to build relationships and understand hiring needs, this could be your perfect next step.

About the role:

This isn't a desk-bound role; we want proactive consultants who are ready to be out in the field, meeting with employers and creating opportunities that align with both our clients' potential and employer needs. Your core mission? To develop relationships, meet ambitious targets, and support our customers on their journey to long-term employment. Your day to day will involve:

1. Employer Outreach & Engagement: You'll actively reach out to employers through cold and warm calling, visits, and events, building and sustaining partnerships to place our job seekers in roles that matter.
2. Client Site Visits: Be on the move, engaging with new and existing employer partners on-site to understand their recruitment needs and present tailored solutions.
3. Solution-Driven Recruitment: Match our clients to roles, align candidates' skills with employers' needs, and craft recruitment pathways that drive sustainable outcomes.
4. Collaboration & Workshop Leadership: Work closely with Employment Advisors, lead workshops, and provide interview support, ensuring clients are prepared and confident to succeed.
5. In-Work Support: Check in with employers and clients post-placement, offering support and advice to foster long-term retention and success.
6. Market Intelligence & Networking: Leverage insights on the local job market to identify new opportunities, attending events and fostering connections with Job Centres, Local Authorities, and community stakeholders.

Who we're looking for:

We want ambitious, resilient individuals with proven ability to reach targets and ideally with sales or recruitment experience or ambitions who:

1. Love the Challenge: You thrive on hitting targets, building partnerships, and achieving results that make a difference.
2. Are Field-Ready: You prefer meeting clients on-site to understand their needs first hand and create solutions that work. Office-bound roles don't interest you.
3. Bring Commitment & Focus: If you're looking for a short-term role, this isn't for you. We're seeking those ready to stay and make an impact.
4. Have Strong Interpersonal Skills: Confident, personable, and adaptable, you're comfortable speaking to employers at all levels and guiding clients through the job search process.
5. Resilience and a positive attitude: This role involves cold calling and outreach, so persistence is essential.
6. The ability to work independently and as part of a team: you'll need to be proactive and self-motivated.

Recruiters: who want to make a real impact rather than just filling vacancies.
Sales professionals: who love working with people and want more meaningful results.
Retail or hospitality professionals: who understand customer needs, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and want to use their relationship building and hiring skills in a new way.

You share our values:

1. Be Ambitious: Show determination and innovation in your approach.
2. Be Inspiring: Inspire responsibility through your daily actions.
3. Be Proud: Take pride in your daily achievements and want to support your local community.
4. Be Considerate: Collaborate well in an inclusive environment.
5. Own It: Own your attitude, motivation, and actions.
