Ready to Leave the Agency Rat Race Without Leaving Recruitment Behind?
You love recruitment.
- The thrill of finding great people.
- The challenge of filling difficult roles.
- Building relationships.
- Influencing decisions.
- Creating talent pipelines.
- Making the perfect match.
But maybe you're ready for something more.
At David Lewis, we're looking for an experienced recruiter who wants to take everything they've learned in agency recruitment and use it somewhere that genuinely changes lives.
This isn't a sales role.
- There are no cold calls.
- No commission targets.
- No monthly billing reports.
Instead, you'll play a vital role in helping us attract and hire exceptional people who support children, young people and adults with complex needs.
Every hire matters.
Every vacancy filled helps strengthen the workforce behind one of the UK's leading specialist providers.
If you're ambitious, proactive, commercially aware and passionate about recruitment, this could be the move you've been waiting for.
The Role
This is a true 360° Talent Acquisition role where you'll manage the full recruitment lifecycle across a diverse range of operational, specialist and professional vacancies.
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.
Working closely with our Head of Recruitment, you'll be trusted to:
- Partner with hiring managers to deliver recruitment solutions
- Write compelling adverts and attraction campaigns
- Source active and passive candidates through LinkedIn, social media and direct approaches
- Build sustainable talent pipelines
- Deliver outstanding candidate experiences
- Influence recruitment decisions and challenge when needed
- Use recruitment data and market insight to improve outcomes
- Support recruitment projects and employer branding initiatives
- Help reduce agency reliance by strengthening direct recruitment capability
This is far more than vacancy management. You'll become a trusted recruitment partner with the opportunity to shape how we attract talent in the future.
Who We're Looking For
You'll likely come from:
- A recruitment agency environment
- An internal Talent Acquisition team
- A high-volume recruitment setting
- A fast-paced in-house recruitment function
Most Importantly, You'll Be Someone Who
- Loves recruitment
- Knows how to source great talent
- Enjoys building strong stakeholder relationships
- Can manage multiple vacancies simultaneously
- Thrives on solving recruitment challenges
- Brings energy, resilience and commercial awareness
- Wants to make a genuine difference through their work
