Recruitment Consultant: Temporary Healthcare Desk
Truro, Cornwall | Full-time, permanent | Monday to Friday, no weekends
£27,000 basic salary + 10% - 40% commission and performance bonus
This role is for an experienced healthcare temp recruiter who wants to own a desk and grow it. Saint Pauls Healthcare is a Cornwall-based home care provider and healthcare staffing agency. We supply nurses, healthcare assistants and support workers to care homes, supported living and mental health services across Cornwall.
The opportunity
We already have the clients, and they need more staff than we can currently supply. This desk is already profitable with very little active recruitment behind it. What we need now is an experienced consultant to find the candidates, fill the shifts, and take the desk to the next level.
You will have full ownership of the temporary staffing desk. You will bring the knowledge, the drive and the ideas, and we will give you the support and the freedom to build it your way.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll do
- Own and run the temporary healthcare staffing desk from day one
- Source, screen, interview and register nurses, healthcare assistants and support workers
- Fill shifts fast, including short-notice and same-day requests
- Build a strong local candidate pool in a tough market: Cornwall is not an easy place to find care staff, so we need someone who knows how to get creative
- Keep clients happy as their go-to staffing partner, and grow the desk with new clients
- Manage compliance, registration and onboarding
You must have
- Proven experience running a temporary staffing desk in a healthcare or social care recruitment agency
- Hands-on knowledge of healthcare compliance, including enhanced DBS checks, right to work, references, the Care Certificate and mandatory training
- A track record of billing and hitting fill-rate targets
- Experience sourcing candidates through LinkedIn, job boards, referrals and your own network
- The confidence to work independently, make decisions and take ownership
