Internal Recruiter / Talent Acquisition
About Oaktree
Oaktree is a growing group of specialist care and education services supporting children and young people across the North West.
As the group continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced Internal Recruiter / Talent Acquisition to take ownership of recruitment across our services.
This is not a recruitment agency role and it is not simply an HR administration position.
We want someone who is proactive, commercially minded and confident enough to go out and find good people rather than waiting for applications to arrive.
The role
You will manage recruitment from vacancy through to successful appointment, working closely with our Registered Managers, senior leadership team and HR.
You will recruit across a range of positions, including:
- Registered Managers
- Deputy Managers
- Team Leaders
- Senior Residential Support Workers
- Residential Support Workers
- Supported Accommodation staff
- Education staff
- Central support and specialist roles
What you'll be doing
- Managing vacancies across the Oaktree Group
- Writing and improving job adverts
- Managing Indeed and other recruitment platforms
- Proactively sourcing and approaching candidates
- Searching CV databases rather than relying solely on incoming applicants
- Screening candidates and carrying out initial telephone interviews
- Coordinating interviews with managers
- Keeping candidates engaged throughout the recruitment process
- Following up quickly after interviews and offers
- Building pipelines for difficult\-to\-fill roles before vacancies become urgent
- Maintaining accurate records within our Applicant Tracking System
- Monitoring recruitment performance, including vacancy levels, applications, interviews, offers and successful appointments
- Working with HR to ensure candidates move smoothly into compliance and onboarding
- Developing relationships with local colleges, universities and other potential recruitment sources
- Supporting recruitment campaigns for new homes and service openings
- Helping strengthen Oaktree's employer brand and candidate experience
We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys recruitment and understands that the job is about finding people, not simply processing applications.
You should be:
- Experienced in recruitment, talent acquisition or resourcing
- Confident using Indeed and CV databases
- Comfortable proactively contacting candidates
- Organised and able to manage multiple vacancies at the same time
- Persistent when recruiting for difficult roles
- Comfortable speaking with managers and challenging them when necessary
- Good at building relationships with candidates
- Strong with systems, trackers and recruitment data
- Able to work quickly without compromising quality
What success looks like
We are looking for somebody who takes ownership.
You will know:
- What vacancies we currently have
- Which vacancies are most urgent
- How many suitable candidates are in the pipeline
- Who has been contacted
- Who has been interviewed
- Who has been offered
- Why candidates are dropping out
- Where we need to change our recruitment approach
Why join Oaktree?
Oaktree is an ambitious and growing organisation, which means this role has genuine scope to develop.
You will have the opportunity to build and improve our recruitment function rather than simply inherit a rigid process.
We already have recruitment technology and systems in place, including an Applicant Tracking System, and we want the right person to help us get much more from them.
You will work directly with operational managers and senior leadership and will have the freedom to suggest and implement better ways of attracting and recruiting people.
If you are a recruiter who likes being proactive, enjoys filling difficult vacancies and wants to see the direct impact of your work, we would like to hear from you.
