Lead strategic recruitment, attraction and workforce solutions for Cafcass
At Cafcass, our work supports children and families at some of the most important and difficult moments in their lives, and the experience and support we provide for colleagues is central to how well we deliver that purpose.
This is an exciting time to join a HR department which is on a positive journey of change and development, with supporting children and families at the heart of everything it does.
We’re looking for a creative, driven and passionate Resourcing Business Partner to use their resourcing experience to drive real positive change for Children and Families with the work they do. The ideal candidate will have a combined experience of both agency and internal recruitment, but significant alternative experience will be considered.
About The Role
As Resourcing Business Partner, you will act as a trusted partner to senior leaders and hiring managers, taking ownership of recruitment campaigns from workforce analysis and attraction strategy through to selection support, onboarding and continuous improvement. You will bring data, market insight, candidate focus and strong professional judgement to help Cafcass attract and appoint colleagues who share our values.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
