Regional Recruiter - Field-Based, Northern England
Up to £30,000 per annum + travel allowances | 6-month contract (potential to extend) | Full-time
Not your average recruitment job.
We're not looking for someone to sit behind an ATS and screen CVs. We're looking for someone who can land in a town where Routes Healthcare has never operated, work out who's hiring, what they're paying, and where the candidates are - and then build a recruitment pipeline from nothing.
Routes Healthcare is a CQC-registered homecare and complex care provider growing across Northern England. Every time we win a contract in a new area, someone has to get boots on the ground and make recruitment happen before the service goes live. That's this role.
What you'll actually be doing
- Visiting new service areas to understand the local market first-hand - who the competitors are, what they pay, and where care workers actually look for jobs
- Building geography-specific recruitment strategies for hard-to-fill areas, from advertising channels down to community noticeboards
- Getting out and building relationships - Jobcentre Plus, colleges, training providers, community groups
- Running attraction campaigns and building candidate pipelines, then handing applicants to our central team for screening and compliance
- Reporting your market intelligence and pipeline progress straight to the Head of Recruitment
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.
What we need from you
- 2+ years' recruitment experience in a similar role - care sector or another hard-to-fill, high-volume field
- A genuine self-starter who can mobilise a recruitment campaign from scratch, without waiting to be told what to do
- Full UK driving licence and access to your own car - this is a field-based role and you'll be travelling regularly
- To live within commutable distance of Rochdale - our head office is here and you'll be working from it at times
- Confidence talking to anyone, from a Jobcentre work coach to a college principal

The honest bit
This is a brand-new role on an initial 6-month contract. If it works - and we think it will - there's real potential for it to become something longer-term. You'll be shaping the role as you go, reporting directly to the Head of Recruitment, with the freedom to run your patch your way.
