Recruitment Manager
We're looking for an experienced and passionate recruitment leader to join our People Directorate as Recruitment Manager on a 12-month fixed term basis.
This is an exciting opportunity to lead a high-performing recruitment service that supports the attraction and onboarding of talented people across our Trust. You'll play a key role in developing our people, improving our processes and ensuring an outstanding experience for candidates, hiring managers and new starters alike.
Reporting to the Recruitment & Talent Acquisition Manager, you'll lead two Recruitment Team Leaders and our wider recruitment administration team, creating a supportive, high-performing environment where people can thrive. We're looking for someone who leads with compassion, inspires others to achieve their best, and is committed to delivering exceptional customer service.
As a trusted recruitment expert, you'll work closely with recruiting managers, HR colleagues and key stakeholders across the organisation to ensure recruitment activity is compliant, efficient and focused on delivering results. You'll also have the opportunity to lead projects, implement new initiatives and help shape the future of recruitment across the Trust.
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.
We offer hybrid working with four days each week in the office in Reading with occasional travel to other Berkshire Healthcare sites.

- Lead and inspire a high-performing recruitment team.
