Job Description
Healthcare Recruiter
Location: Richmond Head Office
Position Type: Full time
Schedule: Monday to Friday
Preferred Start Time: Early start
Paragon Home Healthcare is looking for a proactive, organised and commercially minded Healthcare Recruiter to join our Richmond Head Office team.
This is a hands-on recruitment role for someone who enjoys sourcing candidates, making calls, moving quickly, managing a live pipeline and turning recruitment activity into real staffing outcomes.
We are not looking for someone who only waits for applications to come in. We need someone who is confident proactively searching for candidates, re-engaging previous applicants, screening quickly and keeping people moving through interview, compliance, training and readiness to work.
About Paragon
Paragon Home Healthcare provides specialist nurse-led care at home for adults and young people with complex healthcare needs, including spinal injury, neurological conditions, respiratory conditions, stroke and other high-acuity care requirements.
Our care teams are carefully recruited, trained and supported by our Recruitment, Coordination, Care Management and Clinical teams. Safe recruitment, warm candidate communication and strong judgement are essential to the way we work.
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.
The Role
You will be responsible for sourcing, engaging, screening, interviewing and progressing high-quality care staff in line with live client needs, rota risk and priority vacancies.
You will work closely with Coordination, Care Management and Clinical colleagues to understand where staff are needed, what each client requires and whether candidates are genuinely suitable for the role, location, shift pattern and package.
Success in this role is not just about applicant numbers. It is about suitable candidates being progressed quickly and safely through screening, interview, compliance, training readiness and into work.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Proactively sourcing candidates through LinkedIn, job boards, ATS talent pools, previous applicants, referrals and other approved routes
- Reviewing applications quickly and contacting suitable candidates promptly
- Making outbound calls to candidates and keeping them engaged
- Screening candidates for experience, availability, location, travel, shift pattern, right to work and suitability
- Managing candidates through interview, onboarding, compliance and training readiness
- Re-engaging previous, dormant or stalled candidates who may be suitable for current vacancies
- Keeping every active candidate clear on their next step
- Maintaining accurate records in TeamTailor and other recruitment/compliance systems
- Working closely with operational colleagues to understand priority vacancies and rota risk
- Escalating early where candidate flow, quality or conversion is not strong enough

- Good judgement when assessing candidate suitability, reliability and fit
