Workforce Recruitment & Retention Manager

We are seeking an ambitious and innovative Workforce Recruitment & Retention Manager to lead the workforce agenda for a major Community Investment Programme at the Royal Free London.

Working closely with senior leaders, service managers, education providers and recruitment partners, you will develop and deliver recruitment and retention strategies that ensure community services in Enfield have the workforce needed to provide high-quality patient care.

You will lead workforce planning, attraction campaigns and talent pipeline initiatives, using workforce data and labour market insight to address recruitment challenges and support sustainable workforce growth. This role will play a key part in ensuring new and expanding services are staffed effectively and efficiently.

We are looking for an experienced workforce, HR or recruitment professional with strong stakeholder management skills, a proactive approach and a passion for delivering innovative workforce solutions.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
