In-house Talent Acquisition Lead to Help Build the Team Behind Life-Changing Education
Join a growing organisation dedicated to supporting children and young people with SEND and SEMH needs through specialist education provision. As demand for services continues to increase, we're looking for an experienced recruitment professional to help attract, assess and appoint exceptional tutors who can make a genuine difference to young people's lives.
Providing specialist tuition that helps young people engage with learning, build confidence and achieve positive outcomes, the organisation has experienced significant growth and secured a number of new contracts. As a result, they are now seeking an experienced In-House Talent Acquisition Lead to build tutor pipelines, lead recruitment activity and support the next phase of expansion.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing, purpose-led organisation where recruitment plays a critical role in service delivery and future success.
About the Role
Working closely with operational and education colleagues, you will take ownership of the end-to-end recruitment process, identifying and attracting high-quality tutors across multiple regions.
This role goes beyond advertising vacancies. You'll be focused on developing talent pipelines, building candidate networks, improving recruitment processes and helping the organisation recruit proactively rather than reactively.
A significant part of the role will involve interviewing and assessing candidates, ensuring they have not only the right skills and experience but also the resilience, values and safeguarding awareness required to work with vulnerable children and young people.
