About Be Caring
Be Caring is the UK's largest employee-owned social care provider, where colleagues are co-owners working together to make a real difference in people's lives and communities.
We're looking for a confident, engaging and organised Recruitment Officer to join our Sheffield team - someone who shares our values, thrives on building relationships and wants to play a key role in growing a team that genuinely changes lives.
This is a varied, people-facing role at the heart of our local service. You'll be the person who finds, attracts and welcomes the values-driven colleagues who deliver outstanding care across Sheffield - and you'll be instrumental in helping us maintain and build on our strong reputation as an employer.
About the Role
As a Recruitment Officer, you'll be a skilled and engaging communicator - promoting Be Caring locally, building partnerships and pathways into employment, and ensuring our recruitment is efficient, compliant and values-led from start to finish.
You'll work closely with the Sheffield management team and our central recruitment team, with the autonomy to shape how we attract and onboard great people in the area.

Recruiting and Supporting Colleagues
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.
- Screen applicants and interview people who have the right values and can meet the needs of the people we support
- Promote job opportunities and build partnerships with local organisations, employment preparation schemes and local authority partners
- Raise our profile across Sheffield through social media, community events, job fairs and promoting our Refer a Friend scheme
- Complete onboarding calls with new starters, raising and resolving concerns early to support retention and care continuity
Managing Recruitment Compliance
- Maintain recruitment files to ensure compliance with Be Caring standards, CQC requirements and safe recruitment legislation
- Check and verify all required documents, including DBS, Right to Work, references and risk assessments
- Work with the central recruitment and local management teams to highlight risks and share information
Administration
- Manage applicants on the Applicant Tracking System (ATS), keeping records accurate and up to date
- Add new colleagues to our care system promptly and maintain recruitment trackers
- Record onboarding calls are report risks as appropriate
What We're Looking For
- A confident, engaging communicator who can inspire and connect with people from all walks of life
- Strong organisational and prioritisation skills - you'll be managing multiple vacancies and candidates at once
- Experience of social media, marketing or external promotion (desirable)
- A values-driven approach - you'll be the first impression of Be Caring for many candidates, so embodying what we stand for matters
- Experience in recruitment is welcome but not essential. What matters most is your attitude, your communication skills and your genuine belief in the importance of great care.
